Customize 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
handheld computer
and Palm Desktop.
To customize HotSync application settings:
1.
Click the
HotSync icon
in the Windows system tray (bottom right
corner of the taskbar).
TIP:
You can also tap the HotSync command on the Palm Desktop
menu bar.
2.
Choose
custom
from the HotSync Manager menu.
3.
Select the appropriate
user name
from the list.
4.
Select an
application
in the
conduit list
and tap
change
.
5.
Select the
direction
in which you want to write data, or select
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. Thereafter, whatever you selected as the default setting is used when you tap the default
button in the custom dialog.
7.
Tap
OK
.

Repeat
steps 4 through 7
to change conduit settings for other applications.

IR HotSync operations
Your organizer is equipped with an infrared (IR) port that supports the IrCOMM implementation of the
standards for infrared communication established by the Infrared Data Association (IrDA). This means
that you can beam data to any other device that supports the IrCOMM implementation of the IrDA
standards. Most importantly, you can use the IR port to perform HotSync operations. You don’t need a
cradle to do this.
To prepare your computer for infrared communication:
Before you can perform a HotSync operation using the IR port, the computer you want to synchronize with
must meet the following requirements:
•
The computer must support the IrCOMM implementation of the IrDA standards.
•
The computer must have an enabled infrared port built-in, or an enabled infrared device attached to
the computer.
Desktop computers are likely to require an infrared device attached to a physical serial port. Laptops are
likely to have a built-in IR port. Your computer must also have an installed infrared driver.
To check if your Windows 95 computer supports infrared communication:
1.
Click
start
in the
Windows taskbar
.
2.
Choose
settings > control panel
.
3.
Find the
infrared icon
in the control panel.
If the icon is there, your computer is enabled for infrared communication. If it isn’t there, you need to
install an infrared driver. After you install the infrared driver or determine that the infrared driver is
already installed, check the ports used by your computer for infrared communication.
