3. Adjust the following options as needed:
• Serial Port: To identify the port for the modem. If you are unsure of the port assignment, look at the Modem Properties in the Control
Panel.
• Speed: To determine the speed at which data is transferred. Try the As Fast As Possible rate first, and adjust downward if you
experience problems. This setting lets Palm
™
Desktop software and your handheld find and use the fastest speed.
• Modem: To identify the modem type or manufacturer. Refer to your modem manual or face plate for its type or settings. If you are
not sure of your modem type or your modem doesn’t match any that appear in the list, select Hayes Basic.
• Setup String: To identify the setup string for your particular modem. Not all modems require a setup string. Refer to your modem
manual and enter the setup string if recommended by the manufacturer.

modem, see “Conducting a HotSync Operation Via a Network” later in this chapter.
3. Enter the telephone number to access the modem connected to your computer. If needed, enter a dial prefix (such as “9”) to access
an outside line, and then tap the Dial Prefix check box. If the phone line you are using for the handheld has Call Waiting, select the
