Tecra 730CDT and infrared port

Hi, I wonder if someone can help me. I have a 730CDT I know it is very old, but it has an IR port, and I thought that I would be able to get on the internet by connecting to my phone via infrared and using the phone as a modem, I know the internal modem cannot be used with mobile phones. The questions are: how to activate the IR port? I looked in the electronic manual under IR port, but all that appears is "diagnostic" and if I can activate the IR port successfully, so should I disable the internal modem before you connect the mobile phone? If anyone can help I would appreciate a lot that I'm going to Italy in the next few days and really need to be able to connect to the internet with the laptop. I'm not all clued up technically so denominated fool proof would be as good!

Hello, Linda

In my opinion the infrared data transfer speed is too slow, if you want to use the mobile phone as a modem. The problem is that connection can break down very often. Wireless or Bluetooth connection is much better.

In any case, I found information that your device a infrared port. Usually the infrared port should be listed in the Device Manager and must be activated. The infrared option must be enabled on the mobile phone too. In this case, the mobile phone must be recognized by laptop.

Next step is to add new modem (mobile phone) on the phone and modem options the tab of phone and modem options modem that you can find under the control panel.

If the modem is successfully added create a connection manually please and define which modem should be used (mobile phone), provider name and phone number that needs to connect by modem.

  • Tecra A8 and Adv Port Replicator III - no audio output from the port replicator

    I have a Tecra A8 anchored on an Advanced Port Replicator III. All ports (network, USB, video) with the exception of the AUDIO ports seem to work well. I can get sound from the headphone jack on the front of the A8, but nothing since the station docking ports. Is there a docking station driver or something I need to install to get the sound from the docking station not the laptop?

  • Tecra M10 and Express Port Replicator, no DVI to Toshiba 20 "LCD output

    Hello

    As the bed of the subject line, I will put up a new Tecra M10 with the Express Port Replicator and monitor LCD Toshiba Tekbright 20 ".

    The system works on Windows XP, and the ordinary VGA connection on the port replicator works fine when connected to the external LCD.

    Thank you very much

    Hello paul

    Your Tecra M10 has DVI port?
    Replicator port is not some sort of converter and it will be just a loop through the signal directly from the laptop.
    If the computer laptop doesn t supports DVI output you cannot expect to get signal from the port replicator.

  • Tecra A9 and express port replicator - two external monitors

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Tecra A9 laptop and a Toshiba express port replicator, the Replicator has two outputs DVI & VGA, but I just can't seam to allow them both to use my funds rather than 1 desktop computer screens and the screen of the laptop.

    Is this possible?

    As far as I know that something like this is not possible. The video signal may not be spited and sent to two video output ports. If you want to use two external monitors, you need an additional video source as Toshiba Dynadock or another solution.

  • Tecra M9 and Express Port Replicator - display flicker

    Hi guys,.

    I'm having some problems with my new Tecra M9! After that laboriously installed all the drivers and ending up with a nice clean install, I am now subject to constant headaches!

    I run a Setup dual monitor with my main monitor being a LG 19 "and the second screen being my Tosh laptop screen. When I move anything or anything open my main screen flickers like mad! I swapped the primary monitor with another screen (make and model), and it still happens! If I connect the main monitor in the laptop VGA port and run the same setting of the screen, its fine, but the second I put it through the docker it still sparkles! I also checked running a single screen (an external monitor) it still happens!

    I've updated all my drivers to the latest version without any doubt the GFX and BIOS.

    I can't be the only person having this problem, I have at least 3 of Tecra M9 who have the same problem and I can't buy laptops additional I need till remedy! Help!

  • Tecra A4 and Win7 - problems with PCMCIA card driver

    I've recently updated my old laptop Tecra A4 - PTA42E - (in great condition however) for Windows 7 and it is now in the best shape ever except for the PCMCIA card. In fact, to have Windows 7 installed I had to rename the pcmcia.sys and pcmcia.inf files during the installation (to .old or .bak) otherwise the new operating system would not start. The same problem has been experienced by many other users Tecra A4 and the solution is available in a number of forums.

    Although I use no more than the PCMCIA card slot, I want to fix this for a reason: If, in the future, I need to re - install Windows 7 for some reason any on this laptop, I have to repeat the same process - rename the pcmcia.sys and pcmcia.inf during installation, in addition, the new operating system does not start.

    I do not understand that the original drivers from the card slot (Texas Instruments PCI-xx21/xx11 CardBus Controller with UltraMedia) are not compatible with Windows 7, but it is there any updated driver that works for windows 7? And if there's a how can I replace the old drivers in my system so that in the event of re - install Windows 7 I will not have to go through the same process? TI site is no help, and Toshiba does not all drivers to download.

    Last but not least, if there is a driver available, I used the card slot for 2 ports USB 2 or 3 additional which are really necessary.

    Thanks to the forum, in advance

    Hello

    The pcmcia.sys and pcmcia.inf files are part of the Windows System.
    This driver isn't provided by laptop manufacturer, but it is a Microsoft internal driver.

    You mentioned that the pilots of the original card slot Texas Instruments PCI-xx21/xx11 CardBus Controller with UltraMedia) are not compatible with Windows 7.

    To my knowledge, this driver does control not the PCMCIA location but this driver controls the card reader that supports the MMC card, SD card, card xd picture card, SM card, Memory Stick and Memory Stick Pro.

    However, the Tecra A4 is very old model of laptop. The driver will not be updated for this camera and it looks like Windows 7 drivers never had to be released the driver Toshiba UE

    Hello world

    I just bought a new watch that should be able to communicate with a pc via the infrared port (it's the Polar S710).
    Unfortunately, it does not work as the 'Protocol' of the watch is directIR, rather than be IrDA, as is my cell phone.

  • Wireless - g card causes Tecra 730CDT to hang it

    I am trying to install the Wireless-G card in my Tecra 730CDT. I first changed the BIOS of the CICP in CardBus for 730CDT to recognize the card. Installation works very well and I get network and Internet connection through a wireless G router and all work perfect for 1 to 5 screens. Then, randomly, the computer freezes and must be turned off manually. I tried 2 different cards Wireless-G (Buffalo WLI-CB-G54L and D-Link DWL-G630), and both do exactly the same thing. I also tried the 2 operating systems (Windows 98SE) and Windows ME and 2 routers different Wireless-G (a Buffalo and a D-Link), with the same results. I think that the 730CDT is 32-bit CardBus, but wonder if the problem is that it really is a 16-bit Cardbus. All expertise and/or experience with that? Ideas or assumptions? Thank you... it's SO close to work it's really frustrating!

    Hi Wayne

    I think you expect too much of this old notebook with just 150 CPU speed MHZ and only 16MB of RAM. I have no experience with this, but I'm sure that there are not enough CPU for this configuration.

    Like you said card is recognized and working properly, but if there are difficult tasks the laptop freezes. For me it's argument this processor have no enough power and abandons everything simply.

    Disable infrared

    You must be logged on as administrator to perform these steps.

    If your infrared computer ability does not, infrared can be disabled in Windows. If your computer has infrared technology, here's how to turn off the infrared connection:

    1. open the Manager of devices by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, click System and security, and then, under system, clicking Device Manager.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    2. double-click on infrared devices.

    3. right click on the device, and then click disable.
