Advanced HotSync ®
Operations
®
HotSync technology enables you to synchronize data between one or
®
more Palm OS handhelds and Palm™ Desktop software or another
PIM such as Microsoft Outlook. To synchronize data, you must
connect your handheld and Palm Desktop software. You can
synchronize your data either directly or indirectly. Direct methods
include placing your handheld in the cradle attached to your
computer, or using infrared communications. Indirect methods
include using a modem, or using network HotSync technology.
This chapter describes how to select HotSync options and perform a
HotSync operation via infrared communications, a modem, or a
network. See "Exchanging and updating data: HotSync operations" in
Chapter 5 for information about performing your first and subsequent
local HotSync operations.
