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 Contacts and Memos 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. 
NOTEThe File Link feature is available only in Palm Desktop software for Windows.
With File Link, you can import data stored in any of the following formats:
nComma-separated (*.csv)
nMemos archive (*.mpa)
nContacts archive (*.aba)
nText (*.txt)
For information on how to set up a file link, see the Palm Desktop online Help.
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 username 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 username. The handheld 
acquires a unique username when the new user performs his or her first local 
HotSync operation. 
						

							Chapter 15 Performing HotSync® Operations
234
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 
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 usernames 
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 then 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 then create the data for the profile (such 
as a company phone list).
