Page 148 Advanced HotSync® Operations

Conducting a HotSync operation via

modem

You can use a modem to synchronize your handheld when you are

away from your computer.

Note:

The first HotSync operation must be local, using the cradle/

cable. After that, you can perform a modem HotSync

operation.

To perform a HotSync operation via modem you need the following:

■

A modem connected to your computer.

■

Palm Desktop software configured for use with the modem.

■

A modem connected to your handheld.

■

A configuration for the kind of modem connection you want to

make. See “Connection preferences” in Chapter 7 for more

information.

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.

Note:

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.
