Conducting a HotSync operation via a network
When you use the Network HotSync application, you can take advantage of
the LAN and WAN connectivity available in many office environments. The
Network HotSync application enables you to perform a HotSync operation
by dialing in to a network (Network Modem Sync) or by using a USB cable
that is connected to any computer on your LAN or WAN (LAN Sync)
(provided that the computer connected to the USB cable also has the
Network HotSync application installed, your computer is on, and the
HotSync Manager is running).
To connect to your company’s dial-in server
The Network HotSync application requires the following:
•Your computer has TCP/IP support installed.
•Both your company’s network system and its remote access server
support TCP/IP.
•You have a remote access account.
Everything you need to connect to your company’s dial-in server (network
modem) is included in the Palm Desktop for CLIÉ software and your CLIÉ
handheld. You need to activate certain features, however, on both the Palm
Desktop for CLIÉ software and your CLIÉ handheld.

the settings of your computer and CLIÉ handheld so that they can locate
each other.
