Conducting a HotSync operation via a network
When you use the Network HotSync® application, you can take advantage
of the LAN and WAN connectivity available in many office environments.
The Network HotSync application enables you to perform a HotSync
operation by dialing in to a network (Network Modem Sync) or by using a
cradle that is connected to any computer on your LAN or WAN (LAN Sync)
(provided that the computer connected to the cradle also has the Network
HotSync application installed, your computer is on, and the HotSync
Manager is running).
To connect to your company’s dial-in server
The Network HotSync application requires the following:
•Your computer has TCP/IP support installed.
•Both your company’s network system and its remote access server support
TCP/IP.
•You have a remote access account.
Everything you need to connect to your company’s dial-in server (network
modem) is included in the Palm Desktop for CLIÉ software and your CLIÉ
handheld. You need to activate certain features, however, on both the Palm
Desktop for CLIÉ software and your CLIÉ handheld.
