Performing a network HotSync operation
After you prepare your computer and your handheld and select your Conduit
Setup options, you are ready to perform a network HotSync operation.
To perform a network HotSync operation:
■
Tap the modem HotSync icon to begin the operation.
Using File Link
The File Link feature enables you to import Contacts and Memos information onto
your handheld from a separate external file such as a company phone list. HotSync
Manager stores the data in a separate category on your Palm Desktop software and
your handheld. You can configure the File Link feature to check for changes to the
external file when you perform a HotSync operation.
NOTE
The File Link feature is available only in Palm Desktop software for Windows.
With File Link, you can import data stored in any of the following formats:
■
Comma-separated (*.csv)
■
Memos archive (*.mpa)
■
Contacts archive (*.aba)
■
Text (*.txt)
For information on how to set up a file link, see the Palm Desktop online Help.
Creating a user profile
A user profile enables you to install the same set of data onto multiple Palm OS
handhelds before each handheld is individualized with a specific username and
data file.
A handheld that is preconfigured with a user profile can be given to anyone
because the handheld is not yet identified by a unique username. The handheld
acquires a unique username when the new user performs his or her first local
HotSync operation.
