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.
