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.
