Chapter 15 Performing HotSync® Operations 182 Conducting network HotSync operations When you use the network HotSync technology, you can take advantage of the LAN and WAN connectivity available in many office environments. Network HotSync technology enables you to perform a HotSync operation by using an accessory to make a wireless connection to a network, by dialing in to a network, or by using a cradle/cable that is connected to any computer on your LAN or WAN (provided that the computer connected to the cradle/cable also has the network HotSync technology installed, your computer is on, and the HotSync Manager is running). IMPORTANTNetwork HotSync technology is available only on Windows computers. You must perform the first HotSync operation by using a local, direct connection or infrared communication. After that, you can perform a network HotSync operation. 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 for connecting to your company’s dial-in server (network modem) is included with Palm Desktop software and handheld software. You need to activate the feature, however, on both Palm Desktop software and your handheld. To prepare your Windows computer for a network HotSync operation: 1.Click the HotSync Manager icon in the Windows system tray. 2.From the HotSync Manager menu, select Network.

Using File Link 185 Performing a network HotSync operation After you prepare your computer and your handheld 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 handheld 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 handheld. 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. NOTEThe File Link feature is not available in Palm Desktop software for Mac. Creating a user profile A user profile enables you to install the same set of data onto multiple Palm OS handhelds before each handheld is individualized with a specific user name and data file. A handheld that is preconfigured with a user profile can be given to anyone because the handheld is not yet identified by a unique user name. The handheld acquires a unique user name when the new user performs his or her first local HotSync operation.
Chapter 15 Performing HotSync® Operations 186 For example, suppose a sales organization wants to distribute two dozen handhelds that all have a common company phone list, a set of memos, and several key applications. A user profile can be created to install the common data before the handhelds are distributed to the employees who will use them. Then when the employees perform their first HotSync operation, the common data becomes part of their individual data file. NOTEThe handhelds that are synchronized with a user profile must be either new ones that have never been synchronized or handhelds that have had their user names and data removed by a hard reset. To create a user profile on a Windows computer: 1.Open Palm Desktop software. 2.From the Tools menu, select Users. 3.Click Profiles. 4.Click New. 5.Enter a unique name for the profile, and click OK. 6.Repeat steps 3 through 5 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 (such as a company phone list, and so on).
