CHAPTER 5

Synchronizing Your Handheld with Your Computer

 

 

[ ! ] Before You Begin

The following setup must be done before you can synchronize over a network:

Your computer must have TCP/IP installed.

Your company’s network system and its remote access server must support TCP/IP.

You must have a remote access account.

Check with your system administrator for assistance.

To synchronize by dialing in to a network, you must also have a mobile phone (sold separately) that you can use as a modem to dial in to the network, or an attachable modem accessory (sold separately).

Synchronizing over a network

WINDOWS ONLY

You can synchronize over your company’s network by dialing in to a network or by connecting to any computer on the network using a cable or your handheld’s IR port. Use network synchronization if you are not close enough to your computer to synchronize directly using a cable or the IR port.

[ ! ] IMPORTANT The first time you synchronize, you must use the cable or infrared communication. After that, you can synchronize over a network.
