Install & Configure Network Synchronization Software

Before the Portsmith Ethernet Cradle can be used to perform a Network Synchronization,
third party synchronization software must be installed on both the desktop computer and
the PDA that will be synchronizing with it. The software locates the desktop computer on

the software on your desktop.

To configure network synchronization:

Follow the software manufacturer's installation instructions to install the software
on the desktop computer and the PDA.

desktop computer on the PDA. With this information, the PDA can locate the
computer when a synchronization operation is performed over the network.

Ethernet Cradle, the desktop computer must be on, the desktop synchronization software
must be running, and the software must be set up for network use.
