If my computer is in the energy saving standby mode where the screen is shut-down, do I need to wake it up first before I can start receiving files through the Infrared Drive ?
No. The “Infrared Monitor” software under the Windows operating system continue to scan for IrDA signal even after the system shuts down the screen and hard drive. When another device equipped with an IrDA infrared port is in range, the operating system will wake up the system and get ready for data transfer.
