Performing a Network HotSync

Operation

Once set up correctly, it is very simple to perform a network

HotSync operation. If you are using the dial-in support feature

and have the PalmPilot Modem, simply snap on the modem,

attach the RJ11 analog phone line and press the HotSync button

on the modem. A direct network HotSync operation is even

easier--just place your Palm III connected organizer into the

cradle of a computer on the network that has network HotSync

software installed and press the HotSync button.

If you have trouble performing a network HotSync operation

and have carefully followed the instructions in the "Getting

Started" chapter, refer to "Troubleshooting" in Appendix A.

Tip:

Before you go on the road with your Palm III organizer

and the network HotSync software, test your

configuration while you're still close to your computer.

Use a nearby analog phone line to test dial-in support,

or a colleague's computer to try a direct network

HotSync operation. This way, you can easily fix

configuration problems you might find.

Performing a Dial-in Network HotSync Operation

Before you perform your first dial-in network HotSync

operation, you must complete the following steps (see the

previous chapter, "Getting Started," for details):

1. Install the network HotSync software on your computer.

2. Perform a local HotSync operation.

3. Set up a Service template with the correct user name,

password and phone number for your dial-in server.
