250 EXCHANGING AND UPDATING DATA USING HOTSYNC®OPERATIONSConducting a HotSync Operation Via ModemYou can use a modem, such as the modem, to synchronize yourSmartphone when you are away from your computer.Note: The first HotSync operation must be local, using the cradle. After that, youcan perform a modem HotSync operation.To perform a HotSync operation via modem you must complete thefollowing steps:• Connect a modem to your computer.• Configure the Palm Desktop software for use with your modem.• Connect a modem to your organizer.• Configure the Modem preferences on your Smartphone for usewith your modem. See page xx for details.Preparing Your ComputerYou must perform a few steps to prepare your computer for a modemHotSync operation. Be sure to perform these steps before you leaveyour office so that your computer is ready to receive a call from yourSmartphone. To prepare your computer for a modem HotSync operation:1. Confirm that the computer modem is connected and turned on, andthat no communications applications, such as fax or telephonysoftware, are running on a COM port.Note: Make sure that the computer is disconnected from all online services,such as America Online (AOL) and CompuServe, to avoid conflicts withthe COM port.

256 EXCHANGING AND UPDATING DATA USING HOTSYNC®OPERATIONSPerforming a HotSync Operation Via aNetworkWhen you use the Network HotSync software, you can takeadvantage of the LAN and WAN connectivity available in manyoffice environments. The Network HotSync software lets youperform a HotSync operation by dialing in to a network or byusing a cradle that is connected to any computer on your LAN orWAN (provided that the computer connected to the cradle alsohas the Network HotSync software installed, your computer ison, and the HotSync Manager is running).The Network HotSync software requires the following:• Your computer has TCP/IP support installed.• Both your company’s network system and its remote accessserver support TCP/IP. (Your system administrator has thisinformation.)• You have a remote access account. (If you don’t have anaccount, consult your system administrator.)Everything you need to connect to your company’s dial-in server(network modem) is included with Palm Desktop software andSmartphone software. You need to activate the feature, however,on both Palm Desktop software and your Smartphone.To prepare your computer for a network HotSyncoperation:1. Click the HotSync Manager icon in the Windows system tray.The Windows system tray is usually in the lower right corneron your computer display.

Because theTCP/IP software is a feature of the operating system, youconfigure all parameters relating to it from the Preferencesapplication. To use TCP/IP, you must configure both the ConnectionPreferences and then create Network Preferences settings.Note: Connection Preferences screen enables you to use the modem tocommunicate with remote devices. For example, you can communicatewith your ISP server, or with your computer if you are away on travel.See “Connection Preferences” earlier in this chapter for a completeexplanation on how to create modem parameters.After you configure both the Network and ConnectionPreferences, you can establish a PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol),SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol), or CSLIP (Compressed SerialLine Internet Protocol) connection with your ISP or dial-in server.You can do this either by using menu commands from theNetwork Preferences screen or by using a third-party application.Note: TCP/IP provides the ability to connect to your ISP or dial-in serverwith applications that allow you to view the transmitted data.
