IR HotSync Operations with PDA of Palm OS
Instead of using cradle, you can use the IR port of your PDA to perform HotSync
operations with the desktop PC connected with IR-200S.
After the installation of the IR-200S, you need to check the port used by your
computer for infrared communication.
To Check the COM Port Used for Infrared Communication
1.
In the Windows taskbar, click Start-Setting-Control Panel.
2.
Double click Infrared.
3.
Click the Options tab.
4.
Select Enable infrared communication.
The COM port displayed in the drop-down box is the port where IR-200S is
attached. It should be different from any port used by the HotSync Manager
5.
Make a note of which COM port is listed as "Providing application support
on COMx and LPTx". (The x is the Port Number. Normally, it's COM4 and
LPT3). You need this COM port information to configure the HotSync
Manager for infrared communication.
6.
Deselect any other check boxes in the Options tab.
7.
Click Apply and OK.
8.
Go to HotSync Manager and specify the simulated port used for infrared
communication.
Configuring HotSync Manager for Infrared Communication
1.
Click the HotSync Manager icon in the Windows system tray.
2.
Make sure "Local" is checked on the menu.
3.
Choose Setup.
4.
Click the "Local" tab.
5.
In the Serial Port drop-down box, select the COM port that was given as the
simulated port in the Options tab of the Infrared Monitor. (For example, if
the COM Port listed as providing application support on COM4, then select
COM4 in the Serial Port drop-down box).
6.
Click "OK".
7.
The HotSync Manager is now configured to communicate with the
simulated port defined for infrared communication. You cannot use your
cradle again until you reconfigure the HotSync Manager to communicate
with the port defined for cradle synchronization.
8.
Now, you are ready to perform an IR HotSync operation.
1.
In the Application Launcher, tap the HotSync icon.
2.
Tap Local.
3.
Tap the pick list below the HotSync icon and select IR to a PC/Handheld.
4.
Position the IR port of your PDA within a couple of inches of the IR-200S.
5.
Tap the HotSync icon to start the IR HotSync operation.
