IrDA Ver.1.1 compliant devices using wireless infrared technology for
the purposes of communication, printing, and networking.
This version of the driver updates SmcIrda.sys version 4.10.1999.2,
which is supplied by Microsoft Windows Me operating system.

3. Updating Driver
------------------
Closing all Windows programs is strongly recommended when a updating
driver.
In a system with PnP BIOS support for the IrCC, use the following
procedure to update the driver from the one that is already in the
system:
1. Go to Control Panel -> System -> Device Manger.
2. Select Network adapters -> SMC IrCC (Infrared
Communications Controller) -> Properties -> Driver tab ->
“Update Driver…”.
3. Choose “Specify a location”, and then “ Display a list
of all the drivers in a specific location, so you can
select the driver you want.”
4. Click “Have Disk….”
5. Insert the disk that contains the updated driver with INF
file, or point to the directory where they are located by
choosing “Browse…” and choose SMC IrCC (Infrared
Communications Controller) from Models.
6. On the next dialog box, confirm that the path of the
“Location of driver” is the correct directory where the new
driver is located.
7. Restart the computer when prompted to do so. (Do not forget to
eject floppy disk!)
4. Confirm Update
-----------------
To confirm the update of the driver, go to Control Panel -> System ->
Device Manager -> Network adapters -> SMC IrCC (Infrared
Communications Controller) -> Properties -> Driver. Confirm that the
Date is 9-14-2000. This is the date stamp of ‘smcirdam.inf.’ Next,
click “Driver File Details…” and select SMCIRDA.SYS. Confirm the File
version is 4.10.1999.4.
5. Using Microsoft IrXfer
-------------------------
To transfer files using IrXfer, select a file (e.g., in Explorer),
and right-click on it. In the pop-up menu, select Send To ->
Infrared Recipient. Default destination directory in the recipient
machine is usually the desktop (C:\Windows\Desktop), but can be changed
using the Properties Tab in the “Wireless Link” app.
