Installing IR Monitor for Windows 95 
------------------------------------
When installing IR Monitor, you'll need to complete the 
following three steps:
     
   * Remove existing IrDA support.
   * Set up IR COM ports.
   * Install IR Monitor.
     
     
 To remove existing IrDA support
 -------------------------------
     
 1. From Control Panel, double-click Add/Remove Programs.
     
 2. If available, select Infrared Support for Windows 95 Version 2.0,
    then click Add/Remove.  
     
 3. Restart the computer when prompted.
     
     
 To set up COM ports for IrDa support  
 ------------------------------------
     
 1. From Control Panel, double-click System.
     
 2. Click Device Manager.
     
 3. Check the Ports (COM & LPT) section of Device Manager for
    Generic Ir Serial Port (COM2). This must be set to COM2.
     
    -or-
     
    If Generic IrDA Compatible Device appears, remove it and 
    reboot the OmniBook. Windows should then find the 
    Generic IR Serial Port. 
     
 4. After the OmniBook reboots, repeat step 3 to check the
    Ports (COM & LPT) section of Device Manager again for 
    Generic Ir Serial Port (COM2).
     
 Important
    If you still see a setting for the Generic IrDA Compatible 
    Device, copy c:\omnibook\drivers\win95\irda\msports.inf to the 
    c:\windows\inf directory. Then remove the Generic IrDA 
    Compatible Device and reboot the OmniBook.
     
 5. Generic Ir Serial Port (COM2) appears in Device Manager, 
    check it for the following resources:
     
      Interrupt Request    03
      Input/Output Range   2F8-2FF
      Direct Memory Access 03
     
 6. If COM2 is present but the resources are wrong, highlight COM2
    and press the Remove button.  
     
    If COM2 is not present or its resources are wrong, use
    Regedit to remove existing COM2 references in the Registry and 
    reboot so Windows will do a hardware search to rediscover it.  
     
     
 To install IR Monitor for Windows 95 
 ------------------------------------
     
 1. Run c:\omnibook\drivers\win95\irda\setup.exe.
     
 2. Choose National Semiconductor for the manufacturer.
     
 3. Choose COM2 when prompted for the COM port.
     
 4. Choose COM4 and LPT3 as the virtual IR devices (the default).
     
    If a dialog box appears asking if you want to keep the 
    existing version of SERIAL.VXD, choose No.
     
 5. Click Finish to exit the setup program.
     
 6. Run c:\omnibook\drivers\win95\irda\fastir.bat and close the
    DOS window it generates.
     
 7. Reboot the OmniBook.  
     
 8. From Control Panel, double-click IR.
     
 Note
    The infrared hardware is disabled when the OB 5700 is docked. 
    You may need to use the Device Manager to uncheck the docked 
    check box under Device usage for the infrared devices: 
    Infrared/National Semiconductor Infrared Driver 
    Ports/Generic Ir Serial Port (COM2)
