The hassles of using cables, stacks of floppies, and hard-to-use software, can make mobile computing a chore. These hassles are a thing of the past with Adaptec's AIRport infrared adapters. The AIRport adapters offer convenient, error-free, cordless file transfer between your notebook and desktop PC. These small, lightweight, low-power adapters make infrared (IR) well suited for portable use. In fact, an increasing number of new portable systems have built-in IR ports that use the Infrared Data Association (IrDA) standard. That's because cordless connectivity is essential for easy mobile computing. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- KEY BENEFITS Installation is a snap AIRport adapters are simple to install and use. Just connect the AIRport cable or connector to the PC serial port, install the software, and configure the port just as you would for a mouse or an external modem -- it's that simple. Then, point your portable's infrared port at the adapter on your desktop, as you would a remote control toward a TV, and you're ready to transmit files. Instantly you have the most convenient solution for updating your files between two PCs. Multiple power options and custom lens for better range AIRport adapters transfer data up to one meter between systems using power from just the serial port. Double the range to two meters by adding four AA batteries or an AC adapter to the AIRport 2000. A built-in custom fresnel lens improves the ability to receive data from other devices with weak infrared signals. The combination of power options and custom lens ensures a reliable connection across the widest range of devices and operating conditions. IrDA compliance All AIRport adapters are designed to comply with the IrDA standard. This allows for compatibility with other devices with IR. It also supports built-in error checking and reconnection in case of obstruction. Sleek, space-saving design The AIRport 2000 adapter's dual-position design allows the user to position it either standing or flat for convenience. Stand it on its end to shoot over the keyboard, mouse pad, or pens and paper that might be on your desk. Or lay it flat for close-range operation. The AIRport 1000 is so small that it easily fits into a pocket for portability. Simple file transfer software If you are familiar with Windows 3.x then you will have no trouble using the Windows-based, file transfer and synchronization software included in the AIRport kits. It uses simple, drag and drop functions for easy file transfers. The auto synchronization feature keeps files between PCs up to date. For users of the Windows 95 operating system, Microsoft(reg) now offers infrared software with embedded support for both AIRport adapters. This will allow for file transfers and printing from within Windows 95. IOware(tm) products from Adaptec Adaptec's IOware products combine hardware and software technology into solutions that speed the flow of data from one part of the system to another, ensuring the level of performance required for today's data- and graphics- intensive applications. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- INFRARED ADAPTER KITS: AIRport 2000 Kit (APA-9320): (For desktop PCs) * APA-9320 Infrared Adapter * Installation and Reference Guide * Software diskette * Software Quick Reference Guide * 9- to 25- pin serial port converter AIRport 1000 Kit (APA-9310): (For notebook PCs) * APA-9310 Infrared Adapter * Installation and Reference Guide * Software diskette * Software Quick Reference Guide AIRport 2500 Kit (APA-9320/9310): (For notebook and desktop PCs) * APA-9310 and APA-9320 Infrared Adapters * Installation and Reference Guide * Software diskette * Software Quick Reference Guide * 9- to 25- pin serial port converter --------------------------------------------------------------------------- TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Standard: IrDA compliant Type of IR: Point to point, line of sight Transfer speed: 9,600, 19,200, 38,400, 57,600, 115,200 bits per second Transfer Procedure: Bi-directional, half duplex communication Power options: PC COM (serial) port AC adapter (AIRport 2000) Four AA batteries (AIRport 2000) Range (typical): 0 to 1 meter (with com port power only) 0 to 2 meters (with AC adapter or batteries for AIRport 2000) Connections: Integrated 6-foot serial cable (AIRport 2000) Port: Connects to PC serial port (9-pin) Optical: Custom lens (fresnel) LED: Two LEDs Certification: FCC Class B Size: 4" x 3" x 1.5" (AIRport 2000); 2" x 1.8" x .75" (AIRport 1000) Weight: 6.0 oz.
