Customizing HotSync Application Settings

For each application you can define a set of options that determines how records are handled
during synchronization. These options are called a "conduit." By default, the Symbol Palm
Terminal Desktop synchronizes all files between the SPT 1700 terminal and the Symbol Palm
Terminal Desktop. In general, you should leave the settings to synchronize all files. The only
reason you might want to change these settings is to overwrite data on either your SPT 1700
terminal or Symbol Palm Terminal Desktop, or to avoid synchronizing a particular type of
file because you don't use it.
In addition to the standard application conduits, the Symbol Palm Terminal Desktop includes
System and Install conduits. The System conduit backs up the system information stored in
your SPT 1700 terminal, including Graffiti
to install Palm-compatible applications.
