Conducting a HotSync operation via modem
You can use a modem to synchronize your CLIÉ handheld when you are
away from your computer. A HotSync operation via modem allows you to
back up your CLIÉ data to your computer away from your computer.
Notes
•The first HotSync operation must be local, using the cradle. After that, you can
perform a modem HotSync operation.
•It may take many minutes to complete a HotSync operation via modem. To minimize
the time required to synchronize data with a modem, we suggest you define the files
and/or applications you synchronize during a modem HotSync operation in
advance. For details, see “To select the conduits for a modem HotSync operation” on
page 127.
Before you start performing a HotSync operation via modem
Check the following:
•A modem or terminal adapter is connected to your computer.
•The CLIÉ Modem PEGA-MD700 (not supplied) must be connected to your
CLIÉ handheld.
•The Palm Desktop for CLIÉ software must be properly configured for use
with the modem.

HotSync operation:
•The computer modem must be connected to your computer and both
the modem and computer are turned on.
•No communication applications, such as fax or telephony software,
are running on the COM port.
•The computer is disconnected from all online services. This helps to
avoid conflicts with the COM port.

Fast As Possible” rate first, and then adjust downward if you
experience problems. This setting allows the Palm Desktop for CLIÉ
software and your CLIÉ handheld to find and use the fastest speed.

modem manual or face plate for its type or settings. If you’re not sure
of your modem type or your modem doesn’t match any that appear in

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.
Preparing your computer
1Click the HotSync  icon in the Windows task tray and then
select Network from the shortcut menu.
2Click the HotSync  icon in the Windows task tray again
and then select Setup from the shortcut menu.
The Setup screen is displayed.

check mark next to it. If the check mark is not there, click the
check box next to your user name.
