Creating log-in scripts
A log-in script is a series of commands that automates logging in to a network 
server, such as your corporate network or your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
You can also use non-ASCII characters or  literal characters for Log-in Scripts.
bFor details, refer to “Non-ASCII Characte rs for Log-in Scripts” on page 95.
Note
Depending on the type of communication adapte r (sold separately), there may be cases 
when there is no need to create a log-in script.
bFor details on accessories that are not supplied, please refer to the “Read This First 
(Operating Instructions).”

Wait For Tells your CLIÉ handheld to  wait for specific characters 
from the TCP/IP server before executing the next 
command.
Wait For Prompt Detects a challenge-response prompt coming from the 
server and displays the dynamically generated challenge 
value. Then enter the challe nge value into your token 
card, which in turn generates a response value for you to 
enter on your CLIÉ handheld. This command takes two 
arguments, separated by a vertical bar (|) on the input line.

Non-ASCII Characters for Log-in Scripts
The following information enables you to create custom log-in scripts that 
require non-ASCII characters. It is  provided for advanced users who 
understand the use and requirements of su ch characters in a custom log-in 
script.
Use of ^char
You may use the caret ( ^ ) to transmit  ASCII command characters. If you send 
^char, and the ASCII value of character is between @ and _, then the character 
is automatically translated to  a single-byte value between 0 and 31.
For example, ^M is convert ed to a carriage return.
If character is a value between A and Z, then the character sequence is 
translated to a single-byte value betwee n 1 and 26. If character is any other 
value, then the character sequence is no t subject to any special processing. For 
example, the string “Joe^M” transmits Joe, followed by a carriage return.
Carriage return and line feed
You may include carriage return and line  feed commands as part of the log-in 
script, when they are entered in the following format.
< cr> : Sends or receives a carriage return
< lf> : Sends or receives a line feed
For example, the string “waitfor Joe” waits to receive Joe followed by 
a carriage return and line feed from the  remote computer before executing the 
next command in the script.
Literal characters
The backslash (  ) character defines that the next character is transmitted as a 
literal character, and is not subject  to any special processing ordinarily 
associated with that character.
Examples:
 \^ : Includes a caret as part of the string
 \< : Includes a < as part of the string
 \  : Includes a backslash as part of the string

Customizing HotSync® application settings 
(Conduit)
The programs handling data of an application during a HotSync® 
operation are called “conduit”.
For each application, you can define a se t of options that determine how data 
are handled during synchroniza tion. By default, a HotSync
® operation 
synchronizes all data between your CLIÉ  handheld and the Palm™ Desktop for 
CLIÉ software.
In addition to the conduits for Date  Book, Address Book, To Do List, and 
Memo Pad, the Palm™ Desktop for CLIÉ  software offers System and Install 
conduits. The System conduit backs up th e system information stored on your 
CLIÉ handheld. The Install  conduit installs add-on applications to your CLIÉ 
handheld. You can sele ct them as needed.
1Click the HotSync   icon in  the Windows task tray and 
select  Custom  from the HotSync® Manager menu.
You can also select  Custom from the  HotSync  menu of the Palm™ 
Desktop for CLIÉ software.
The  Custom  dialog box is displayed.
2Select the user name you are using on your CLIÉ handheld 
from the list at the top.
