Local Setup Enables you to perform HotSync operations

your Macintosh. If you are using the USB
cradle/cable for a direct HotSync operation,
you do not need to set these options; set them

cable.

software uses to communicate with the
cradle/cable. Select the port where you
connected the cradle/cable. If you perform
IR HotSync operations, select Infrared port.
