Customizing 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, Palm Desktop
synchronizes all files between the SPT 1500 terminal and the Palm Desktop. In general, you
should leave the settings to synchronize all files. The only reason you might want to change
these settings is to overwrite data on either your SPT 1500 terminal or Palm Desktop, or to
avoid synchronizing a particular type of file because you don’t use it.

In addition to the Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, Memo Pad and Expense application
conduits, Palm Desktop includes System and

Install conduits. The System conduit backs up

the system information stored in your SPT 1500 terminal, including Graffiti

®

software

ShortCuts. The Install conduit is used to install Palm-compatible applications.

To customize HotSync application settings:

1. Click the

icon in the Windows System Tray to open the HotSync Manager menu.

Tip: You can also click the HotSync command on the Palm Desktop menu bar to open

the HotSync Manager menu.

2. Click Custom from the HotSync menu to open the Custom dialog.

Serial Port

Identifies the port where the modem is located. If you
are unsure of the port assignment, look at the Modem
Properties in the Windows Control Panel.

Speed

Determines the speed at which data is transferred. We
suggest you try the As Fast As Possible rate first, and
adjust downward if you experience problems. This
setting allows the Palm Desktop and SPT 1500
terminal to find and use the fastest speed.

Modem

Identifies the modem type or manufacturer. Refer to
your modem manual or face plate for its type or
settings. If you’re not sure of your modem type or your
modem doesn’t match any that appear in the list,
choose Hayes Basic.

Setup String

Identifies the setup string for your particular modem.
Not all modems require a setup string. Refer to your
modem manual and enter the setup string if
recommended by the manufacturer.
