Connecting The Cradle; Installing Workpad Desktop Software - IBM WorkPad Handbook

Connecting the Cradle

The cradle that comes with your WorkPad enables you to synchronize
the information on your WorkPad and the WorkPad Desktop
software using HotSync
To connect the cradle:
Turn off your computer and plug the cable from the WorkPad
cradle into the serial communications port on your computer.
Note: Your WorkPad requires a dedicated port. It cannot share a
port with an internal modem or other device. If you are unsure
about the exact location of the serial port on your computer,
refer to the user's manual supplied with the computer.

Installing WorkPad Desktop Software

WorkPad Desktop software extends many of the functions of your
WorkPad to your computer. Although using WorkPad Desktop
software is optional, when you use it with your WorkPad and the
built-in HotSync technology, you can fully synchronize the
information on your WorkPad with the information on your
computer. Changes you make on your WorkPad or WorkPad Desktop
appear in both places after you synchronize.
With WorkPad Desktop software you can:
Work with your WorkPad applications on your computer.
WorkPad Desktop duplicates the Date Book, Address Book, To Do
List and Memo Pad applications on your WorkPad, so you can
view, enter and modify any data stored on your WorkPad.
