To prepare a Windows computer for a modem
HotSync operation:
1. Confirm that the computer modem is connected and turned on,
and that no communications applications, such as fax or telephony
software, are running on a COM port.
Note: Make sure the computer is disconnected from all
online services, such as America Online (AOL) and
CompuServe. This helps to avoid conflicts with the
COM port.
2. Start HotSync Manager if it is not already running, and from the
HotSync Manager menu, choose Modem.
3. Adjust the following options as needed.
Serial Port Identifies the port for the modem. 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.
Try the As Fast As Possible rate first, and adjust
downward if you experience problems. This
setting allows Palm Desktop software and your
handheld 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, select Hayes Basic.
