Setting Up the Ethernet Cradle for HotSync

The CRD1500-4000E appears to SPT 1550 terminals inserted into the cradle as a dial-up
PPP service. Therefore, just as you would set up a Palm III terminal to connect to an
Internet Service Provider (ISP) like Compuserve or Earthlink, the SPT 1550 terminals must
be configured for use with the cradle. This section describes the steps necessary to
configure both the SPT 1550 terminal and the CRD1500-4000E.

Installing NetSync

An SPT 1550 terminal must have NetSync installed and configured for it to communicate
with the CRD1500-4000E. Additionally, NetSync extensions to the HotSync Manager must
be installed on the host system which the SPT 1550 terminal is to synchronize with. The
Network HotSync software is a free add-on for SPT 1550 terminals and is available at http:/
/www.palm.com/custsupp/downloads/netsync.html.
Follow the instructions to install the network HotSync software on your host PC, then
perform a HotSync to install the program on your SPT 1550 terminal.
