Conducting 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 enables you to
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).
Connecting to your company’s dial-in server
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 do not have an account,
consult your System Administrator.)
Everything you need to connect to your company’s dial-in server
(network modem) is included with Palm Desktop for IBM WorkPad
and companion software. You need to activate the feature, however,
on both Palm Desktop for IBM WorkPad and your companion.
