CONDUCTING A HOTSYNC OPERATION VIA A NETWORK

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).

Network HotSync Software 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.
