Advanced HotSync
®
Operations
HotSync ® technology enables you to synchronize data between one or
more Palm OS
®
handhelds and Palm
™
Desktop software for IBM
WorkPad or another PIM such as Microsoft Outlook. To synchronize
data, you must connect your PC companion and Palm Desktop
software for IBM WorkPad. You can synchronize your data either
directly or indirectly. Direct methods include placing your PC
companion in the cradle attached to your computer, or using infrared
communications. Indirect methods include using a modem, or using
network HotSync technology.
This chapter describes how to select HotSync options and perform a
HotSync operation via infrared communications, a modem, or a
network. See “Exchanging and updating data: HotSync operations” in
Chapter 5 for information about performing your first and subsequent
local HotSync operations.
