6 Troubleshooting If you are unable to communicate between your desktop and portable computers, your problem may be related to a variety of issues. Review the following areas and make the necessary adjustments. Your portable computer may be out of range or misaligned with the infrared adapter. Try repositioning the infrared devices. Verify the red light on the JetEye PC flashes every 3 seconds. This light indicates the software drivers are correctly installed. If the light is not flashing red, you may have selected the wrong COM port during software installation. Try to load infrared through a different COM port. To change the infrared COM port: 1. Double-click on the Infrared icon located in the system tray. 2. In the Infrared Monitor screen, select the tab labeled Options. 3. Select a different COM port. 4. Click Apply. 5. Verify the red light begins to flash on your JetEye PC. If your infrared drivers and file transfer software seem to be properly installed and running, verify the JetEye PC connection is tightly secured on your desktop serial port. Isolate which device is not communicating by using a third infrared device, such as a printer or another portable computer, to test connections. 6
