Conducting a HotSync operation 
via a network
When you use the network HotSync technology, you can take 
advantage of the LAN and WAN connectivity available in many office 
environments. The network HotSync technology enables you to 
perform a HotSync operation by dialing in to a network or by using a 
cradle that is connected to any computer on your LAN or WAN 
(provided that the computer connected to the cradle also has the 
network HotSync technology installed, your computer is on, and the 
HotSync Manager is running).
Connecting to your company’s dial-in server
A network HotSync operation requires the following (consult your 
System Administrator for assistance):
nYour computer has TCP/IP support installed.
nBoth your company’s network system and its remote access server 
support TCP/IP.
nYou have a remote access account. 
Everything you need to connect to your company’s dial-in server 
(network modem) is included with Palm Desktop software and 
organizer software. You need to activate the feature, however, on both 
Palm Desktop software and your organizer.
To prepare your computer for a network HotSync operation:
1. Click the HotSync Manager icon   in the Windows system tray.
Tip:The Windows system tray is usually in the lower-right 
corner on your computer display. The location may vary 
depending on the location of the taskbar and the version 
of Windows you are using.
2. From the HotSync Manager menu, choose Network.
3. From the HotSync Manager menu, choose Setup. 
						

							Chapter 6 Page 155
4. Click the Network tab and make sure your user name has a check 
mark next to it. If the check mark is not there, click the check box 
next to your user name.
5. Click OK.
6. Put your organizer in the cradle and perform a HotSync operation.
The HotSync operation records network information about 
your computer on your organizer. With this information, your 
organizer can locate your computer when you perform a 
HotSync operation over the network.
To prepare your organizer for a network HotSync operation:
1. Tap the Applications icon  . 
2. Tap the HotSync icon  . 
3. Tap the Menu icon  . 
4. Tap Options, then tap Modem Sync Prefs.

Performing a network HotSync operation
After you prepare your computer and your organizer, and select your 
Conduit Setup options, you are ready to perform a network HotSync 
operation.
To perform a network Hotsync operation:
nTap the modem HotSync icon to begin the operation.
Using File Link
The File Link feature enables you to import Address Book and Memo 
Pad information onto your organizer from a separate external file such 
as a company phone list. HotSync Manager stores the data in a 
separate category on your Palm Desktop software and your organizer. 
You can configure the File Link feature to check for changes to the 
external file when you perform a HotSync operation. 
With File Link, you can import data stored in any of the following 
formats:
nComma-separated (*.csv)
nMemo Pad archive (*.mpa)
nAddress Book archive (*.aba)
nText (*.txt)
For information on how to set up a file link, see the Palm Desktop 
online Help.

Creating a user profile
If you use the File Link feature to configure several Palm Computing 
platform handhelds with specific information (such as a company 
phone list) before distributing them to their actual users, you can 
create a user profile to load the data into an organizer without 
associating that data with a user name. The User Profile feature is 
designed only for the first-time HotSync operation, before you assign 
a User ID to a particular organizer. 
To create a user profile:
1. Open Palm Desktop software.
2. From the Tools menu, choose Users.
3. Click Profiles. 
4. Click New.
5. Enter a unique name for the profile and click OK. 
6. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each profile that you want to create, and 
then click OK to return to Palm Desktop software. 
7. Select the profile from the User list and create the data for the 
profile (e.g., company phone list, etc.). 
						

							Chapter 6 Page 159
To use a profile for the first-time HotSync operation:
1. Place the new organizer in the cradle.
2. Press the HotSync button   on the cradle.
3. Click Profiles.
4. Select the profile you want to load on the organizer, and click OK.
5. Click Yes to transfer all the profile data to the organizer.
The next time you perform a HotSync operation, Palm Desktop 
software prompts you to assign a user name to the organizer.
