Customizing HotSync Application Settings
For each application, you can define a set of options that
determines how records are handled during synchronization.
These options are called a “conduit.” By default, a HotSync
operation synchronizes all files between the Smartphone and
Palm Desktop software.
In general, you should leave the settings to synchronize all files.
The only reason you might want to change these settings is to
overwrite data on either your Smartphone or Palm Desktop
software, or to avoid synchronizing a particular type of file
because you don’t use it.
In addition to the conduits for Date Book, Address Book, To Do
List, Memo Pad, and Expense, Palm Desktop software includes
System and Install conduits. The System conduit backs up the
system information stored on your Smartphone, including
Graffiti®ShortCuts. The Install conduit installs applications on
your Smartphone.

Performing a 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 lets you
perform a HotSync operation by dialing in to a network or by
using a cradle that is connected to any computer on your LAN or
WAN (provided that the computer connected to the cradle also
has the Network HotSync software installed, your computer is
on, 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 access
server support TCP/IP. (Your system administrator has this
information.)
• You have a remote access account. (If you don’t have an
account, consult your system administrator.)

Defining primary and secondary DNS
The Domain Naming System (DNS) is a mechanism in the
Internet for translating the names of host computers into IP
addresses. When you enter a DNS number (or IP address), you
are identifying a specific server that handles the translation
services.
Each IP address has four sections, separated by periods. In the
Details dialog box, you enter each section separately. Each
section of an IP address is made up of a number from 0 to 255;
numbers are the only allowable characters in this field.
Ask your Internet service provider or system administrator for the
correct Primary or Secondary DNS IP numbers.
Tip: Many systems do not require that you enter a DNS. If you are not sure,
leave the DNS field blank.
To enter a primary and secondary DNS:
1. Tap the Query DNS check box to deselect it.
2. Tap the space to the left of the first period in the Primary DNS
field, and then enter the first section of the IP address.
Note: Each section must be a number from 0 to 255.
3. Repeat step 2 for the second, third, and last sections of the
Primary DNS field.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the Secondary DNS number.
5. Tap OK.

To enter a permanent IP address:
1. Tap the IP Address check box to deselect it and display a
permanent IP address field below the check box.
2. Tap the space to the left of the first period then enter the first
section of the IP address.
Note: Each section must be a number from 0 to 255.
3. Tap and enter the remaining sections of the IP address.
4. Tap OK.
IP address
Everyone who logs on to the Internet needs to have a unique
identifier(an IP address), whether permanent or temporary. Some
networks dynamically assign a temporary IP address when clients
log in. The IP Address field lets you identify whether your
network provides automatic (dynamic) temporary IP addressing.
Note: If your IP address is permanently assigned, you need to get that
information from your system administrator. If you are not sure,
select Automatic.
To identify dynamic IP addressing:
Tap the IP Address check box to select it.

Login Scripts
A login script is a series of commands that automates logging in
to a network server, for example, your corporate network or your
Internet Service Provider (ISP). A login script is associated with a
specific service template created in Network Preferences.
A login script is something that you are likely to receive from
your IS System Administrator if your company has a system in
which you log in to the corporate servers from your organizer
using a modem or network connection. The script is generally
prepared by the System Administrator and distributed to users
who need it. It automates the events that must take place in
order to establish a connection between your organizer and the
corporate servers.
You can create login scripts in two ways:
• In a text editor on your desktop computer, in which you create
a file with the extension PNC, which you then install on your
organizer using the Install Tool (this method is not available to
Macintosh users)
• In the Login Script dialog box on your organizer, accessed from
the Details dialog box in Network Preferences
Note: You can also use non-ASCII and literal characters in your login
script. See Appendix D for more information.
Tap here to see the list of
available commands.

Creating a Login Script on Your Organizer
You can create login scripts by selecting commands from the
Command pick list in the Login Script dialog. Some commands,
such as Send, require you to supply additional information. Those
commands have a parameter field so that you can add the
necessary data.
To create a login script:
1. Tap Script.
2. Tap the End pick list.
3. Tap the command you want from the Command list. If the
command requires additional information, a field appears to the
right of it for you to enter the information. The following
commands are available:
Wait For Tells your Smartphone to wait for specific
characters from the TCP/IP server before executing
the next command.
Wait For Detects a challenge-response prompt coming
Prompt from the server and then displays the dynamically
generated challenge value. You then enter the
challenge value into your token card, which in turn
generates a response value for you to enter on your
organizer. This command takes two arguments,
separated by a vertical bar (|) on the input line.

Send Transmits specific characters to the TCP/ IP
server to which you are connecting.
Send CR Transmits a carriage return or LF character to
the TCP/IP server to which you are connecting.
Send User ID Transmits the User ID information entered in
the User ID field of the Network Preferences
screen.
Send Transmits the password entered in the
Password Password field of the Network Preferences
screen. If you did not enter a password, this
command prompts you to enter one. The
Password command is usually followed by a
Send CR command.
Delay Tells your Smartphone to wait a specific
number of seconds before executing the next
command in the login script.
Get IP Reads an IP address and uses it as the IP
address for your Smartphone. This command is
used with SLIP connections.
Prompt Opens a dialog box and prompts you to enter
text of some kind (for example, a password or
a security code).
End Identifies the last line in the login script.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the login script is complete.
5. Tap OK.

Plug-in Applications
You can create plug-in applications containing script commands
that extend the functionality of the built-in script commands. A
plug-in application is a standard PRC application that you install on
your organizer just like any other application. After you install the
plug-in application, you can use the new script commands in a
login script.
Plug-in applications have the following characteristics:
• Written in C language
• Compiled into a device executable
• Called properly from a login script
• Able to return control to a login script after it terminates
• Created using a development environment that supports the
Palm OS®software, such as Metrowerks CodeWarrior for Palm
Computing Platform.
Deleting a Service Template
There is only one way to delete a service template: use the Delete
command from the Service menu.
To delete a service template:
1. Tap the Service pick list.
2. Tap the service template you want to delete.
3. Tap the Menu icon .
4. Tap Service, and then tap Delete.

TCP/IP Troubleshooting
If you are having a problem establishing a network connection
using TCP/IP, check this section and try the suggestions listed.
Displaying expanded Service Connection Progress
messages
It’s helpful to identify at what point in the login procedure the
connection fails. An easy way to do this is to display the
expanded Service Connection Progress messages. Expanded
Service Connection Progress messages describe the current
stage of the login procedure. Press the Down scroll button at any
point during login to display these messages.
294 SETTING PREFERENCES FOR YOUR SMARTPHONE
Viewing the Network Log
If viewing the expanded Service Connection Progress messages
does not give you enough information to find out why you cannot
connect to your ISP or dial-in server, take a look at the Network
Log. The Network Log lists all of the communication that occurs
between your modem and your dial-in server during the login
procedure. The information in the Network Log can help your ISP
or your System Administrator pinpoint where the login procedure
communication fails and why.
To view the Network Log:
1. Tap Options, and then tap View Log.
2. Tap the up and down arrows of the scroll bar to see the entire
Network Log.
3. Tap Done.
Adding a DNS number
If your ISP or dial-in server requires a DNS number and you did
not enter that information in the Network Preferences screen, it
will appear that you successfully logged into your network. When
you try to use an application or look up information, however, the
connection fails. If this occurs, try adding a DNS number. Ask
your ISP or your system administrator for the correct Primary and
Secondary DNS IP numbers.
