HotSync® Operations: Performing a HotSync Operation for the First Time CHAPTER 9: EXCHANGING AND UPDATING DATA USING HOTSYNC® OPERATIONS HotSync® technology lets you synchronize (exchange and update) data between one or more iQue handhelds and Palm™ Desktop software or another PIM such as Microsoft® Outlook. The HotSync process automatically synchronizes data between your handheld and Palm Desktop software.
HotSync® Operations: Performing a HotSync Operation for the First Time Creating a User Profile You can create a user profile to load data into a handheld without associating that data with a user name. This feature allows System Administrators to configure several Garmin handhelds with specific information (such as a company phone list) before distributing them to their actual users. In Windows, you use the File Link feature of the Palm™ Desktop software to import information from external files.
HotSync® Operations: Performing a HotSync Operation for the First Time Selecting HotSync® Setup Options You can choose when you want HotSync Manager to run. If necessary, you can adjust the local and modem HotSync settings as well. To set HotSync options: 1. Click the HotSync Manager icon in the Windows system tray. 2. Choose Setup. 3.
HotSync® Operations: Performing a HotSync Operation for the First Time Customizing HotSync® Application Settings For each application, you can determine how records are handled during synchronization. The applications that handle these records are called “conduits.” By default, a HotSync operation synchronizes all files between the handheld and Palm Desktop software. In general, you should leave the settings to synchronize all files.
HotSync® Operations: IR HotSync Operations 5. Click to select the way you want to transfer data, or click Do Nothing to skip data transfer for an application. 6. Choose how long the setting will remain in effect: • To have the setting affect only the next HotSync® operation, deselect Set As Default. Thereafter, the HotSync Actions revert to their default settings. • To use a new setting as the default, select the Set As Default option.
HotSync® Operations: IR HotSync Operations To determine the ports used for infrared communication: 1. On the Windows taskbar on your computer, click Start, choose Settings, and then choose Control Panel. 2. Double-click Infrared. 3. Click the Options tab. 4. Select Enable infrared communication. The COM port displayed in the drop-down box is the port where your infrared device is attached. It should be different from any port used by the HotSync® Manager. 5.
HotSync® Operations: IR HotSync Operations Performing an IR HotSync® Operation After you complete the steps to prepare for an IR HotSync operation, it is easy to perform the actual operation.

HotSync® Operations: Conducting a HotSync Operation Via a Modem Conducting a HotSync® Operation Via a Modem You can use a modem, such as the Palm® modem accessory, to synchronize your handheld when you are away from your computer. NOTE: The first HotSync operation must be local, using the cradle. After that, you can perform a modem HotSync operation. To perform a HotSync operation via modem you must complete the following steps: • Connect a modem to your computer.
HotSync® Operations: Conducting a HotSync Operation Via a Modem 3. Adjust the following options as needed: • Serial Port: To identify the port for the modem. If you are unsure of the port assignment, look at the Modem Properties in the Windows Control Panel. • Speed: To determine the speed at which data is transferred. Try the As Fast As Possible rate first, and adjust downward if you experience problems. This setting lets Palm™ Desktop software and your handheld find and use the fastest speed.
HotSync® Operations: Conducting a HotSync Operation Via a Modem Selecting Conduits for a Modem HotSync Operation You can define which files and applications on your handheld synchronize during a modem HotSync operation to minimize the time required to synchronize data with a Palm™ Modem accessory. To define what synchronizes, use the Conduit Setup dialog box. Applications that do not have a database (such as games) do not synchronize—even if you select the item in the Conduit Setup dialog box.
HotSync® Operations: Conducting a HotSync Operation Via a Network 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.

A DNS number (or IP address) identifies a specific server that handles the translation services. Each DNS or IP address is a series of four numbers, from 0 to 255, separated by periods. Anyone who logs onto the Internet must have a unique identifier called an IP address.
Setting Connection and Network Preferences: Network Preferences Creating a Login Script A login script is a series of commands that automates logging into your ISP. You can create login script files by selecting commands from in the Login Script dialog box. Some commands, such as Send, require additional information and have a parameter field to add the necessary data. You can also use non-ASCII and literal characters in your login script.
Setting Connection and Network Preferences: Network Preferences Using Non-ASCII Characters in Login Scripts If you know how to write custom scripts with non-ASCII characters, you can incorporate the caret (^char) character, carriage returns and line feeds, and literal characters in your custom login scripts. • Use the caret (^ char) character to transmit ASCII command characters.
Setting Connection and Network Preferences: Network Preferences Troubleshooting TCP/IP Connections If you have problems connecting to a network using TCP/IP, you can display information to troubleshoot the problem.
