HP OMNIBOOK 300, 425, AND 430 - INFRARED TRANSFER WITH THE HP 100LX

PALMTOP USING MS WINDOWS TERMINAL



  SOLUTION:HP OmniBook 300, 425, and 430 - infrared transfer with

              the HP 100LX Palmtop using MS Windows Terminal

                                                                      

  SOLUTION:The HP 100LX Palmtop is capable of transferring data in

              the following formats:XMODEM, YMODEM, ZMODEM, Kermit,

              and Text.  To transfer data between the HP OmniBook

              300, 425, or 430 and the HP 100LX Palmtop, the HP

              OmniBook 300, 425, or 430 must be capable of

              transmitting data in at least one of these formats.

              The following is an outline of the steps needed to

              transfer files between the HP OmniBook 300, 425, or 430

              and the HP 100LX Palmtop using the infrared interface.

  

              To proceed, you will need to download the MS Terminal

              accessory files TERMINAL.EXE and TERMINAL.HLP to your

              HP OmniBook 300, 425, or 430 (see application note HP

              OmniBook 300/425 Downloading Windows Terminal for

              further assistance).  Terminal is capable of

              transmitting data in either Kermit or XMODEM formats.

  

              The subsequent procedure assumes a session of LapLink

              Remote is not currently active on the HP OmniBook 300,

              425, or 430.  These steps need to be completed on both

              the HP OmniBook 300, 425, or 430 and the HP 100LX

              Palmtop.  Either the HP OmniBook 300, 425, or 430 or

              the HP 100LX Palmtop can be configured first as long as

              Step One is entirely complete before proceeding to Step

              Two.  In this procedure, XMODEM and 19200 are used as

              examples of protocol and baud rate, respectively.

              However, other configurations may be chosen instead, if

              desired.
