HP OMNIBOOK 300, 425, AND 430 - INFRARED TRANSFER WITH THE HP 100LX
USING KERMIT PROTOCOL SOFTWARE
ISSUE:HP OmniBook 300, 425, and 430 - infrared transfer with
the HP 100LX Palmtop using Kermit protocol software.
SOLUTION:The following is an outline of the steps needed to
transfer files between the HP OmniBook 300, 425, and
430 and the HP 100LX Palmtop using Kermit protocol via
the infrared interface.
To continue with this procedure, the Kermit protocol
software must be installed on the HP OmniBook 300, 425,
or 430 (see application note HP OmniBook HP OmniBook
300, 425, and 430, Installing Kermit Protocol
Software). Kermit software may be obtained by
contacting Columbia University at the address and phone
number below. (Kermit is also widely available on many
electronic bulletin boards.)

The subsequent procedure assumes a session of LapLink
Remote is not currently active on the HP OmniBook 300,
425, and 430. These steps need to be completed on both
the HP OmniBook and the HP 100LX Palmtop. Either the
HP OmniBook 300, 425, and 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, 9600 is used as an example baud rate;
however, another baud rate may chosen instead, if so
desired.
STEP ONE
HP OMNIBOOK 300, 425, AND HP 100LX PALMTOP
430
1 Close all applications and 1 Press [MORE] key

8 Change to the Kermit 8 Select OK when
subdirectory finished
9 Type Kermit [Enter] 9 Press [MENU] key
10 Type set port com2 10 Press [F] to choose
[Enter]. File
11 Type set baud 11 Press [P] to choose
9600[1][Enter] Protocol
12 Press [K] to choose
Kermit
13 Choose OK when
finished.
[1] If another baud rate is selected, ensure that it
matches the baud rate on the other machine.
STEP TWO - BEGIN STEP TWO ONLY AFTER COMPLETING ALL OF STEP ONE
1. Align both the infrared ports on the HP OmniBook
300, 425, and 430 and the HP 100LX Palmtop.
Now you can Send or Receive files using the Kermit
protocol on the HP OmniBook 300, 425, and 430. From
the HP 100LX Palmtop, use the Send and Receive commands
in the File menu of DataComm.
KERMIT COMMANDS
When sending or receiving, a send command must be
issued from one machine while a receive command is
issued from the other machine simultaneously. The
following is a brief outline of the syntax for Kermit
commands Send and Receive.
SEND
The send command requires a source file identifier.
The command send thisfile.txt will send the file named
thisfile.txt.
The send command also permits an optional destination
identifier. The command send thisfile.txt thatfile.txt
will send the file thisfile.txt and rename it to
thatfile.txt on the destination machine.
RECEIVE
The receive command will receive a file from the source
machine. The command receive will receive a file as it
is sent by the source machine.
The receive command also permits an optional
identifier. The command receive thisfile.txt will
receive a file from the source machine and rename it to
thisfile.txt.

refer to Kermit, a file transfer protocol by Frank da
Cruz from Digital Press.
