Preparing your computer
There are a few steps you must perform to prepare your computer for a modem
HotSync operation. Be sure to perform these steps before you leave your office so
that your computer is ready to receive a call from your handheld.
To prepare your Windows computer for a modem HotSync operation:
1.
Confirm that the computer modem is connected and turned on, and that no
communications applications, such as fax or telephony software, are running on
a COM port.
Make sure the computer is disconnected from all online services, such as
America Online (AOL). This helps to avoid conflicts with the COM port.
2.
Start HotSync Manager if it is not already running, and from the HotSync
Manager menu, choose
Modem.
3.
Adjust the following options as needed.
Serial Port
Identifies the port for the modem. If you are unsure of the port
assignment, look at the Modem Properties in the Windows
Control Panel.
Speed
Determines the speed at which data is transferred. Try the As
Fast As Possible rate first, and adjust downward if you
experience problems. This setting allows Palm Desktop
software and your handheld to find and use the fastest speed.
Modem
Identifies the modem type or manufacturer. Refer to your
modem manual or faceplate for its type or settings. If you’re
not sure of your modem type or your modem doesn’t match
any that appear in the list, select Hayes Basic.
