Conducting HotSync 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 enables you to
perform a HotSync operation using a cradle that is connected to any
PC on your LAN or WAN (provided that the PC connected to the
cradle also has the Network HotSync software installed and your PC
is on and the HotSync Manager is running).

The Network HotSync software is an optional component that you can
download from the Palm website (http://www.palm.com). The files
that you download also include a setup program and documentation
for this feature.

Creating a User Profile

If you need to configure a number of 3Com connected organizers with
specific information (such as a company phone list) before
distributing them to their actual users, you can create a User Profile to
load the data into a 3Com connected organizer without associating
that data with a user name. The User Profile feature is designed only
for the first-time HotSync operation, before you assign a User ID to a
particular 3Com connected organizer. See “Using File Link” later in
this chapter for information about loading data after you assign a
User ID.

To create a User Profile:

1. Open the Palm Desktop software.

2. Click Users from the Tools menu to open the Users dialog.

3. Click the Profiles button to open the Profiles dialog.

4. Click the New button to open the New Profile dialog.
