Nokia IrDA Support

Some Nokia GSM phones have build-in infrared port. This page lists the IrDA support on these phones. The first table is a summary of the support which must be implemented to be IrDA-compliant. A compliant device allows another compliant device to discovery it, establish a link, obtain results from IAS queries and make connection to available services.

Table 1. Mandatory IrDA Standards that Nokia GSM phones support
	Nokia 61xx	Nokia 6210	Nokia 7110	Nokia 8210	Nokia 8250	Nokia 8810	Nokia 8850
IrPHY	SIR	SIR	SIR	SIR	SIR	SIR	SIR
IrLAP	Y	Y	Y	Y	Y	Y	Y
IrLMP	Y^a	Y	Y	Y	Y	Y	Y

Notes:	a.	The 6100 series phones do not reply the "IrLMPSupport" query which is required by the IrLMP 1.1 specifications.

The following table lists the discovery information returned the phones. In fact, Nokia phones since the 8810 model provide the widest range of IrDA services among IrDA-savvy GSM phones.

Table 2. Discovery information returned by Nokia GSM phones
	Name	Hint	Service supported as "Hinted"
Nokia 61xx	Nokia 6100	8101	IrPnP, IrMC (misleading, no IrMC support exists)
Nokia 6210	Nokia 6210	B125	IrPnP, Fax, Modem, IrCOMM, IrOBEX, IrMC
Nokia 7110	Nokia 7110	B125	IrPnP, Fax, Modem, IrCOMM, IrOBEX, IrMC
Nokia 8210	Nokia 8210	B125	IrPnP, Fax, Modem, IrCOMM, IrOBEX, IrMC
Nokia 8250	Nokia 8250	B125	IrPnP, Fax, Modem, IrCOMM, IrOBEX, IrMC
Nokia 8810	Nokia 8810	B125	IrPnP, Fax, Modem, IrCOMM, IrOBEX, IrMC
Nokia 8850	Nokia 8850	B125	IrPnP, Fax, Modem, IrCOMM, IrOBEX, IrMC

The table below lists the support to optional IrDA services. For a supported service, the port number (LsapSel) which the phone listens to is stated.

Table 3. Optional IrDA Standards that Nokia GSM phones support
	IrCOMM	IrLAN	IrLPT	IrMC	IrOBEX^a	IrUT^b	IrWW	JetSend
Nokia 61xx	-	-	5^{c, d}	-	-	-	-	-
Nokia 6210	4^e	-	-	2^f	2	-	-	-
Nokia 7110	4^e	-	6^d	2^f	2	-	-	-
Nokia 8210	4^e	-	6^d	2^f	2	-	-	-
Nokia 8250	4^e	-	-	2^f	2	-	-	-
Nokia 8810	4^e	-	6^d	2^f	2	-	-	-
Nokia 8850	4^e	-	6^d	2^f	2	-	-	-

Notes:	a.	The IrOBEX 1.2 framework is also used by IrMC for data transport as stated in the IrMC 1.1 standard.
	b.	The IrUT protocol is meant for FIR devices only.
	c.	Support only provided by firmware versions before 5.00.
	d.	These models do not provide an IrCOMM 3-wire raw support IAS entry as recommended by the IrCOMM 1.0 standard.
	e.	These models support a 9-wire serial port.
	f.	These models provide support for vCard and vCalendar, reception only. All are IrMC 1.1 compliant.
