Beaming is a settings application. It allows the user to set-up the device to receive and send data via an integrated infra-red (IR) port.
Devices fitted with an infra-red port may use infra-red communications (IR) or "beaming" to transmit and receive data with other devices, desktop computers or printers and the like which have IR capability. There are a number of different IR protocols and in order for the transmission to succeed a protocol must be used that matches that expected by the other device.
With this feature the protocol to be used for IR beaming may be changed from Qtopia's standard protocol (Object Exchange or OBEX) to another IR protocol that suits the target device for the transmission.
Protocols which may be selected are:
For convenience of different types of beaming usage it is possible for the IR capability to be: enabled indefinitely; enabled in a one-shot mode; or set to turn off automatically after 5 minutes. These last two modes have the advantage that the user does not need to remember to deactivate IR beaming after the transmissions have been completed.
Note: If the IR function is left on more power may be used by the device and undesired interactions with IR capable devices may take place. It is therefore recommended that it be turned off when not needed.
The user is able to:
