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.

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 Star icon, 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 the HotSync
Manager is running). The third-party software and accessories required to make a
wireless connection, and those required to dial in to a network are sold separately.
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.
The third-party software and accessories needed for connecting to your company's
dial-in server (network modem) are sold separately.
