Page 188 Advanced HotSync® Operations
To prepare a Macintosh for a modem HotSync operation:
1. Confirm that the Macintosh modem is connected and turned on,
and that no communications applications, such as fax or telephony
software, or AppleTalk networking are running on that serial port.
Note: Make sure the Macintosh is disconnected from all online
services, such as CompuServe and America Online
(AOL). This helps to avoid conflicts with the serial port.
2. Double-click the HotSync Manager icon in the Palm folder.
3. Click the Serial Port Settings tab.
4. Under Check for handheld connection using, click Modem Setup.
5. Adjust the following options as needed.
6. Close the HotSync Software Setup window.

Macintosh. If your modem does not appear on
the list, use the Hayes Basic setting, or choose
Custom to enter a command string. Refer to the
manual that came with your modem to find the
appropriate command string.
Port
Identifies the port that Palm Desktop software
uses to communicate with the modem. Select
the modem or printer port where you
connected the modem cable.

Speaker
Activates the modem’s speaker. If you are
