Setting Up the Ethernet Cradle for Hotsync

The CRD1700-4000E appears to SPT 1700 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 1700 terminals must be
configured for use with the cradle. This section describes the steps necessary to configure both
the SPT 1700 terminal and the CRD1700-4000E.

Installing NetSync

An SPT 1700 terminal must have NetSync installed and configured for it to communicate
with the CRD1700-4000E. Additionally, NetSync extensions to the HotSync Manager must
be installed on the host system which the SPT 1700 terminal is to synchronize with. The
Network HotSync software is a free add-on for the SPT 1700 and Palm Computing Platform
series organizers and is available from the PalmComputing website at http://www.palm.com/
custsupp/downloads/netsync.html. Please note, in some later versions, such as Palm V,
Network Hotsync is included as part of the desktop software.
Follow the instructions to install the network HotSync software on your host PC, then
perform a HotSync to install the program on your SPT 1700 terminal.

Configuring NetSync Options

Once NetSync is installed on your SPT 1700 terminal, it must be configured for use with the
CRD1700-4000E. From the HotSync panel on your SPT 1700, select each of the option
panels available from the "Options" menu (accessed by tapping the Menu icon) and
configure them as follows:
1. To configure the Modem Sync Preferences:
a. Select the HotSync application from the main application screen.
b. Select the menu icon to display the options menu.
c. Select Modem Sync Prefs.
d. Select "Network" and tap "OK".
2. To configure the Local Sync Preferences:
a. Select the HotSync application from the main application screen.
b. Select the menu icon to display the options menu.
c. Select Local Sync Prefs.
d. Select either LANSync or Local HotSync. The CRD1700-4000E doesn't use the
LANSync functionality, so your selection here doesn't have an effect.
