Performing a network HotSync operation via a LAN
You are ready to perform a network HotSync from another computer
on your network after you select Network from the HotSync Manager
menu on both your primary computer and the computer you want to
use for the network HotSync operation.
To perform a network HotSync operation via a LAN:
1. Place your handheld in a cradle that is connected to a computer on
the LAN.
2. Press the HotSync button on the cradle.
HotSync Manager finds your primary computer on the LAN and
synchronizes with the data on your primary computer.
Using File Link
The File Link feature enables you to import Address Book and Memo
Pad information onto your handheld from a separate external file such
as a company phone list. HotSync Manager stores the data in a
separate category on your Palm Desktop software and your handheld.
You can configure the File Link feature to check for changes to the
external file when you perform a HotSync operation.
With File Link, you can import data stored in any of the following
formats:
■
Comma delimited (.csv)
■
Tab delimited (.tsv)
■
Memo Pad archive (.mpa)
■
Address Book archive (.aba)
■
Text (.txt)
For information on how to set up a file link, see the Palm Desktop
online Help.
