Performing a network HotSync operation via a LAN
You are ready to perform a network HotSync from another computer on
your network after you select Network from the HotSync Manager menu
on both your primary computer and the computer you want to use for
the network HotSync operation.
To perform a network HotSync operation via a LAN:
1. Connect your phone to a HotSync cable that is connected to a
computer on the LAN.
2. Press the HotSync button on the cable.
HotSync Manager finds your primary computer on the LAN and
synchronizes with the data on your primary computer.
Using File Link
The File Link feature enables you to import PhoneBook and Memo Pad
information onto your phone from a separate external file such as a
company phone list. HotSync Manager stores the data in a separate
category on your Palm Desktop software and your phone. You can
configure the File Link feature to check for changes to the external file
when you perform a HotSync operation.
With File Link, you can import data stored in any of the following
formats:
ᮣ Comma delimited (.csv)
ᮣ Tab delimited (.tsv)
ᮣ Memo Pad archive (.mpa)
ᮣ Address archive (.aba)
ᮣ Text (.txt)
For information on how to set up a file link, see the Palm Desktop online
Help.
