Which side of Flirc dongle received IR signals ?

Newbie question help appreciated.

 

I mount my Flirc  on a USB extender cable and stick it below the TV for better receipt of IR signals.

Which side of the unit should be in front facing the remote?

if your computer is not in a cabinet, you don't even need to do this.

It is in a cabinet. Does your answer mean that it is im material which side of the dongle when placed vertically at the end a cable, faces the remote.
