Conduct a HotSync operation via modem
You can use a modem to synchronize your
handheld computer
, but you should follow your modem
manufacturer’s guidelines for use.
Conduct a HotSync operation via a network
When you use the network HotSync software, you can take advantage of the LAN and WAN connectivity
available in many office environments. The network HotSync software lets you perform a HotSync
operation by dialing in to a network or by using a cradle that is connected to any computer on your LAN or
WAN (provided that the computer connected to the cradle also has the network HotSync software
installed, your computer is on, and the HotSync Manager is running).
The network HotSync software requires the following:
•
Your computer has TCP/IP support installed.
•
Both your company’s network system and its remote access server support TCP/IP. (Your system
administrator has this information.)
•
You have a remote access account. (If you don’t have an account, consult your system administrator.)
