Chapter 2
Performing a Network HotSync
Operation
Once set up correctly, it is very simple to perform a network
HotSync operation. If you are using the dial-in support feature
and have the PalmPilot Modem, simply snap on the modem,
attach the RJ11 analog phone line and press the HotSync button
on the modem. A direct network HotSync operation is even
easier--just place your Palm III connected organizer into the
cradle of a computer on the network that has network HotSync
software installed and press the HotSync button.
If you have trouble performing a network HotSync operation
and have carefully followed the instructions in the “Getting
Started” chapter, refer to “Troubleshooting” in Appendix A.
Tip:
Before you go on the road with your Palm III organizer
and the network HotSync software, test your
configuration while you’re still close to your computer.
Use a nearby analog phone line to test dial-in support,
or a colleague’s computer to try a direct network
HotSync operation. This way, you can easily fix
configuration problems you might find.
Performing a Dial-in Network HotSync Operation
Before you perform your first dial-in network HotSync
operation, you must complete the following steps (see the
previous chapter, “Getting Started,” for details):
1.
Install the network HotSync software on your computer.
2.
Perform a local HotSync operation.
3.
Set up a Service template with the correct user name,
password and phone number for your dial-in server.
