include using a modem, or via a network using the network HotSync
technology. See Chapter 7 for information about performing HotSync
operations via a modem, network, or IR port.
Performing a HotSync operation for the first time
The first time you synchronize your data, you need to enter user
information on Palm Desktop software for IBM WorkPad. After you
enter this information and synchronize, the HotSync Manager
recognizes your PC companion and doesn’t ask for this information
again.
If you are a System Administrator preparing several PC companions
for a group of users, you may want to create a user profile. See
“Creating a user profile” in Chapter 7 before performing the following
steps.
Important:
You must perform your
first
HotSync operation with a
local, direct connection, or with infrared communication,
rather than using a modem.
The following steps assume that you have already installed Palm
Desktop software for IBM WorkPad. If you have not installed this
software, see “Installing Palm Desktop software for IBM WorkPad” in
Chapter 1 for instructions.
To perform a local HotSync operation:
1. Place your PC companion on the cradle.
