254 HotSync® Operations
Performing 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. The Network HotSync software allows you
to perform a HotSync operation by dialing in to a network or
by using a cradle that is connected to any computer on your
LAN or WAN (provided that the computer connected to the
cradle also has the Network HotSync software installed, your
computer is on, and the HotSync Manager is running). The
Network HotSync software requires the following:
ᮣ Your computer has TCP/IP support installed.
ᮣ Both your company’s network system and its remote access
server support TCP/IP. (Your system administrator has this
information.)
ᮣ You have a remote access account. (If you don’t have an
account, consult your system administrator.)
Everything you need to connect to your company’s dial-in
server (network modem) is included with Palm Desktop
software and your phone software. You need to activate the
feature, however, on both Palm Desktop software and your
phone.
