Returning to cable HotSync operations

It's easy to return to using the cable for HotSync operations.
If you are using the USB cable, you can continue using it while HotSync Manager
is configured for infrared communication. Use the following instructions to return
to local USB cable HotSync operations only when necessary, such as when you
have disconnected the cable from the USB port.
To return to local USB cable HotSync operations on a Windows computer:
If necessary, connect the cable to the USB port of the computer you use for
1.
HotSync operations.
Click the HotSync Manager icon
2.
Local USB if it is not already selected.
On a Mac computer, the HotSync Manager software monitors all ports at the same
time. However, you may want to turn off the IR port when you're not using it to
improve performance of HotSync operations.
The next time you want to perform a HotSync operation, just tap the HotSync icon
on the Home Screen, as you always did before.

Conducting network HotSync operations

When you use the network HotSync technology, you can take advantage of the
local area network (LAN) and wide area network (WAN) connectivity available in
many office environments. Network HotSync technology enables you to perform
a HotSync operation by using a cable that is connected to any computer on your
LAN or WAN (provided that the computer connected to the cable also has the
network HotSync technology installed, your computer is on, and HotSync
Manager is running).
IMPORTANT
You must perform the first HotSync operation by using a local, direct connection or
infrared communication. After that, you can perform a network HotSync operation.

Connecting to your company's dial-in server

A network HotSync operation requires the following (consult your system
administrator for assistance):
Your computer has TCP/IP support installed.
Both your company's network system and its remote access server support
TCP/IP.
You have a remote access account.
Network HotSync technology is available only on Windows computers.
