HotSync operations via a modem
You can use a modem to synchronize your organizer when you are
away from your computer.
Note: The first HotSync operation must be local, using the cradle.
After that, you can perform a modem HotSync operation.
To perform a HotSync operation via a modem, you need the
following:
■ A modem connected to your computer
■ Palm Desktop software configured for use with the modem
■ A modem, for example, a Palm Modem accessory, connected to
your organizer
■ Modem Preferences configured for use with a modem
Preparing your computer
You must perform a few steps to prepare your computer for a modem
HotSync operation. Perform these steps before you leave your office
so that your computer is ready to receive a call from your organizer.
To prepare your computer for a modem HotSync operation:
1. Confirm that the computer modem is connected and turned on,
and that no communications applications, such as fax or telephony
software, are running on a COM port.
Note: To avoid conflicts with the COM port, make sure the
computer is disconnected from all online services, such as
America Online (AOL) and CompuServe.
2. Start HotSync Manager if it is not already running, and from the
HotSync Manager menu, choose Modem.
