Install & Configure Network Synchronization Software

Before the Portsmith Ethernet Cradle can be used to perform a Network Synchronization, third party synchronization software must be installed on both the desktop computer and the PDA that will be synchronizing with it. The software locates the desktop computer on the network being accessed via the Portsmith Ethernet Cradle.

NOTE: You might need the assistance of your network system administrator to install the software on your desktop.

To configure network synchronization:

1.Follow the software manufacturer's installation instructions to install the software on the desktop computer and the PDA.

2.Make sure the synchronization software is set up for use on a network.

3.Make sure the appropriate user name is selected in the synchronization software.
