Modem Setup Enables you to perform HotSync operations across a telephone line. To do this you must purchase an optional add-on modem accessory for your handheld, have a modem connected to your Macintosh, and set the following options:

Modem. Identifies the type of modem connected to your Macintosh. If your modem does not appear on the list, use the Hayes setting, or choose Custom to enter a command string. Refer to the manual that came with your modem to find the appropriate command string.

Port. Identifies the port that Palm Desktop software uses to communicate with the modem. Select the modem or printer port where you connected the modem cable. If your Macintosh does not have a serial port (such as the Apple iMac), you need to purchase and install the PalmConnect USB kit, and then select PalmConnect USB as the port.

Modem Speaker. Activates the modem’s speaker. If you are having trouble connecting, turn on this option to make sure the modem connected to your Macintosh is responding to incoming calls.

Note: You can set both Local and Modem settings and prepare your Macintosh to synchronize using the HotSync cradle/cable or a modem. However, choosing both setups prevents you from using either port for other operations such as printing, faxing, or AppleTalk networking.

4. Close the HotSync Software Setup window.
