Operation Via a Network
When you use the Network HotSync software, you can take advantage of the LAN and WAN connectivity available in many office
environments. The Network HotSync software lets you perform a HotSync operation by dialing in to a network or by using a cradle
that is connected to any computer on your LAN or WAN (provided that the computer connected to the cradle also has the Network
HotSync software installed, your computer is on, and the HotSync Manager is running).
The Network HotSync software has the following requirements:
• Your computer has TCP/IP support installed.
• Both your company’s network system and its remote access server support TCP/IP. (Your System Administrator has this
information.)
• You have a remote access account. (If you don’t have an account, consult your System Administrator.)
Everything you need to connect to your company’s dial-in server (network modem) is included with
Palm™ Desktop software and
the handheld software. You need to activate the feature, however, on both
Palm Desktop software and your handheld.
