To prepare a Mac 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, or AppleTalk
networking are running on that serial port.
Make sure your computer is disconnected from all online services, such as
CompuServe and America Online (AOL). This helps to avoid conflicts with the
serial port. In addition, your computer must be on, and it should not be in sleep
mode when receiving a call from a remote handheld.
2.
Double-click the HotSync Manager icon in the Palm folder.
3.
Click the HotSync Controls tab and enable the Transport Monitor, if it is not
already enabled.
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 your handheld to
synchronize with your computer at the fastest speed possible.
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 if your modem doesn’t match any
that appear in the list, select Hayes Basic.
Setup String
Identifies the setup string for your particular modem. Not all
modems require a setup string. Refer to your modem manual,
and enter the setup string if it is recommended by the
manufacturer.
