Using LabVIEW with Wireless Devices

With IrDA technology, devices can communicate through a wireless infrared interface. In LabVIEW two VIs running on two separate computers can communicate using built-in IrDA capabilities. For example, you can build a VI that runs a test and collects the results on one desktop computer. You can then transmit that data via infrared beams to another computer.

Bluetooth technology provides flexible, low-power communication among Bluetooth devices over a radio frequency. In LabVIEW, VIs running on separate computers or on PDA devices can use Bluetooth capabilities to communicate. For example, you can use the LabVIEW PDA Module to build a PDA VI that runs a test and collects the results. You then can transmit that data over a Bluetooth radio connection to another computer or PDA device.

It's easy to find a IrDA equipment, but how to config the "Service"?

I try the above VIs on separate PC, and also the IrDA Talk passive and IrDA Talk Active.vi, both can not work. Pls let me know the reason. My IR port for both PC are OK. I can send and receive file from either PC to the other.
