Connection preferences
The Connection Preferences screen enables you to define the settings used to
connect your handheld to other devices. The screen displays a list of available
configurations that are ready to be further defined; the list varies depending on the
kind of software you’ve added to your handheld.
For example, a modem connection appears on the list. If you have this modem, you
only need to specify the phone setup (and network connection — if required) to
complete the configuration.
NOTE You can purchase a PalmModem accessory for use with your handheld. See
www.palm.com.
You can also create custom configurations, which include the following:
Editing connections
The following example shows you how to edit the IR to Phone connection to adjust
the communication speed; you can similarly edit other connections or settings or
create a custom connection. You can use the IR to Phone connection to perform a
remote IR HotSync operation. To accomplish the HotSync operation, your
handheld sends data through its IR port to a modem attached to or within a mobile
phone, which then dials a modem attached to or within your desktop computer, to
synchronize with your Desktop application.
PC via Cradle/Cable: A local HotSync connection: the direct
connection between your
handheld and your desktop computer.
Your handheld is connected by its universal connector to the cradle,
and the cradle is attached by its cable to a USB port of your desktop
computer. (If you are using the optional serial cradle, the cradle
attaches by its cable to a serial (COM) port of your computer.)
Modem via Cradle/Cable: A cable connection between your
handheld’s universal connector and a modem for dialing in to a
modem that is part of your computer or laptop.
PC via Infrared: A connection between the IR port of your handheld
and the infrared device of your computer or laptop.
Modem via Infrared: A connection between the IR port of your
handheld and a modem. The modem can be attached to or within a
mobile phone or some other device containing an IR port. (Some IR
phones contain modems.)
