Conducting a HotSync operation
via modem
You can use a modem to synchronize your PC companion when you
are away from your computer.
Note: The first HotSync operation must be local, using the cradle.
After that, you can perform a modem HotSync operation.
To perform a HotSync operation via modem you need the following:
A modem connected to your computer.
Palm Desktop software for IBM WorkPad configured for use with
the modem.
A modem connected to your PC companion.
A configuration for the kind of modem connection you want to
make. See "Connection preferences" in Chapter 8 for more
information.

Preparing your computer

There are a few steps you must perform to prepare your computer for
a modem HotSync operation. Be sure to perform these steps before
you leave your office so that your computer is ready to receive a call
from your PC companion.
To prepare your computer for a modem HotSync operation:
1. Confirm that the computer modem is connected and turned on,
and that no communications applications, such as fax or telephony
software, are running on a COM port.
Note:
Make sure the computer is disconnected from all
online services, such as America Online (AOL). This helps
to avoid conflicts with the COM port.
2. Start HotSync Manager if it is not already running, and from the
HotSync Manager menu, choose Modem.
3. Adjust the following options as needed.
