Performing a HotSync Operation via a Network
Using Network HotSync software, you can take advantage of the network
connectivity available in many office environments. This software, which is
available separately from Palm Computing, enables you to perform a HotSync
operation using a cradle that is connected to any PC on your Local Area
Network (LAN) or Wide Area Network (WAN). It is available for Windows 95
and Windows NT 4.0 systems only.
If you want to set up this capability, first contact the network administrator of
your company Intranet for details about the network security precautions in
place at your company. You can download the HotSync Network Connection
for Palm Desktop 3.0 from the Palm Computing web site. The download
includes both files and documentation. For complete information, see
www.Palm.com. Select Support and Palm III series.
Creating a User Profile
If you need to configure a number of pdQ smartphones with specific
information (such as a company phone list) before distributing them to their
actual users, you can create a User Profile to load the data into a pdQ
smartphone without associating that data with a user name. The User Profile
feature is designed only for the first-time HotSync operation, before you
assign a User ID to a particular pdQ smartphone. See“Using File Link” on
page 56 for information about loading data after you assign a User ID.
To create a User Profile:
1.
Open the Palm Desktop software.
2.
Click Users from the Tools menu to open the Users dialog.
3.
Click Profiles to open the Profiles dialog.
4.
Click New to open the New Profile dialog.
5.
Enter a name for the Profile and click OK.
