Garmin 3600a Operating Guide

When you use the Network HotSync software, you can take advantage of the LAN and WAN connectivity available in many office 

environments. The Network HotSync software lets you perform a HotSync operation by dialing in to a network or by using a cradle 

that is connected to any computer on your LAN or WAN (provided that the computer connected to the cradle also has the Network 

HotSync software installed, your computer is on, and the HotSync Manager is running).
The Network HotSync software has the following requirements:

•  Your computer has TCP/IP support installed.
•  Both your company’s network system and its remote access server support TCP/IP. (Your System Administrator has this  

information.)

•  You have a remote access account. (If you don’t have an account, consult your System Administrator.)

Everything you need to connect to your company’s dial-in server (network modem) is included with Palm™ Desktop software

 

and 

the handheld software. You need to activate the feature, however, on both Palm Desktop software and your handheld.

1.  Click the 

HotSync Manager icon in the Windows system tray. 

  (The Windows system tray is usually in the lower right corner on your computer display. The location may vary de-

pending on the location of the taskbar and the version of Windows you are using.)

2.  From the 

HotSync Manager menu, choose Network.

3.  From the HotSync Manager menu, choose 

Setup.

4.  Click the 

Network tab and make sure that a check mark appears next to your user name. If no check mark appears, 

select the check box next to your user name.

5.  Click 

OK.

6.  Place your handheld in the cradle, and perform a HotSync operation.

The HotSync operation records network information about your computer on your handheld. With this information, your handheld 

can locate your computer when you perform a HotSync operation over the network.
