Caution

To enhance security, do not enable infrared image transfer (IrTran-P), that is, do not select the Use Wireless Link to transfer images from a digital camera to your computer check box. If you select this check box, all incoming files sent over IrTran-P are automatically accepted. Because incoming files might contain harmful programs, ensure that the files originate from a trustworthy source. Do not open files if you cannot verify the source, do not recognize the file format, or are unsure of the content. Instead, delete the files immediately.

In the Windows Server 2003 family, only Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition, supports infrared networking.
The Wireless Link icon appears in Control Panel only if an infrared device is already installed on your computer.
If you are using synchronization software, note that certain software will automatically disable infrared image transfer (IrTran-P). As a result, you will not be able to use Wireless Link to transfer images from a digital camera to your computer. In such cases, you might have to remove the synchronization software before you can use Wireless Link to transfer digital camera images. To determine whether your synchronization software disables infrared image transfer, see your software manufacturer's product documentation.

Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
