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).

The Network HotSync software requires the following:

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

To prepare your computer for a network HotSync operation:

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

2.From the HotSync Manager menu, choose Network.
