Customizing HotSync Application Settings
For each application you can define a set of options that determines how records are handled
during synchronization. These options are called a “conduit.” By default, the Symbol Palm
Terminal Desktop synchronizes all files between the SPT 1700 terminal and the Symbol Palm
Terminal Desktop. In general, you should leave the settings to synchronize all files. The only
reason you might want to change these settings is to overwrite data on either your SPT 1700
terminal or Symbol Palm Terminal Desktop, or to avoid synchronizing a particular type of
file because you don’t use it.
In addition to the standard application conduits, the Symbol Palm Terminal Desktop includes
System and
Install conduits. The System conduit backs up the system information stored in
your SPT 1700 terminal, including Graffiti
®
software ShortCuts. The Install conduit is used
to install Palm-compatible applications.
To customize HotSync application settings:
1. Click the icon in the Windows System Tray to open the HotSync Manager menu.
Tip: You can also click the HotSync command on the Symbol Palm Terminal Desktop
menu bar to open the HotSync Manager menu.
2. Click Custom from the HotSync menu to open the Custom dialog.
Serial Port Identifies the port where the modem is located. 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. We suggest you try the As
Fast As Possible rate first, and adjust downward if you experience problems.
This setting allows the Symbol Palm Terminal Desktop and SPT 1700
terminal to find and use the fastest speed.
Modem Identifies the modem type or manufacturer. Refer to your modem manual or
face plate 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, choose 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 recommended by the manufacturer.
