Driver Ver:
The current version of the Portsmith Cradle Driver on the PDA.
Driver Mode:
This item allows the user to configure the current mode of the Portsmith Cradle Driver.
Enabled: The driver is enabled and will configure the TCP/IP communication
session when it detects the PDA’s presence in a Portsmith Ethernet Cradle. In
this mode, the driver does not actually open the TCP/IP session until an
application tries to communicate over TCP/IP. This behavior preserves battery
life. It is the default configuration of the driver
session when it detects the PDA’s presence in a Portsmith Ethernet Cradle. In

Disabled: The driver is disabled. It will perform no activity while in this mode.
Automatic HotSync: This mode is the same as the Enabled mode except the
driver simulates the press of the cradle’s HotSync button when the driver detects
the PDA’s presence in the Portsmith Ethernet cradle.
Automatic Connect: This mode is the same as the Enabled mode except the
driver opens the TCP/IP connection upon cradle presence detection rather than
waiting for an application to attempt to communicate over TCP/IP. Some
applications require this behavior. (Note: This mode can drain the batteries of
Alkaline battery powered PDAs. )
Configuration Panel: This mode is the same as the Enabled mode except the
driver will display its configuration form when the cradle is detected.
