Setting Up the Ethernet Cradle for HotSync
The CRD1700-4000E appears to SPT 1700 terminals inserted into the cradle as a dial-up
PPP service. Therefore, just as you would set up a Palm III terminal to connect to an
Internet Service Provider (ISP) like Compuserve or Earthlink, the SPT 1700 terminals must
be configured for use with the cradle. This section describes the steps necessary to
configure both the SPT 1700 terminal and the CRD1700-4000E.
Installing NetSync
An SPT 1700 terminal must have NetSync installed and configured for it to communicate
with the CRD1700-4000E. Additionally, NetSync extensions to the HotSync Manager must
be installed on the host system which the SPT 1700 terminal is to synchronize with. The
Network HotSync software is a free add-on for SPT 1700 terminals and is available at http:/
/www.palm.com/custsupp/downloads/netsync.html.
Follow the instructions to install the network HotSync software on your host PC, then
perform a HotSync to install the program on your SPT 1700 terminal.
Configuring NetSync Options
Once NetSync is installed on your SPT 1700 terminal, it must be configured for use with the
CRD1700-4000E. From the HotSync panel on your SPT 1700, select each of the option
panels available from the “Options” menu (accessed by tapping the Menu icon) and
configure them as follows:
1. To configure Modem Sync Preferences:
2. Tap the icon to open the HotSync menus.
3. Tap Modem Sync Preferences from the Options menu to display the Modem Sync
Preferences screen.
4. Select Network.
5. Tap OK.
6. To configure the Local Sync Preferences:
a. Tap the icon to open the HotSync menus.
b. Tap LANSync Preferences from the Options menu to display the LANSync
Preferences screen.
c. Select Local HotSync (the CRD1700-4000E doesn’t use LANSync
functionality).
d. Tap OK.
