Conducting a HotSync operation via a network
When you use the Network HotSync software, you can take advantage of the Local Area Network
(LAN) and Wide Area Network (WAN) connectivity available in many office environments. The
Network HotSync software enables you to perform a HotSync operation by using the WAN to
dial-in to a network or by using a cable that is connected to any computer on your LAN (provided
that the computer connected to the cable also has the Network HotSync software installed, your
computer is on, and the HotSync Manager is running).
Connecting to your company’s dial-in server
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 HotSync Manager and the software on your communicator. You need to activate the feature,
however, in HotSync Manager and on your communicator.
To prepare your computer for a network HotSync operation:
1. Click the HotSync Manager icon in the Windows system tray (bottom-right corner of the
taskbar).
2. From the HotSync Manager menu, choose Network.
Note: To perform a Network HotSync from another computer on your network, you must
select Network from the HotSync Manager menu on both your primary computer and
the computer you want to use.
3. From the HotSync Manager menu, choose Setup.
4. Click the Network tab and make sure your user name has a check mark next to it. If the check
mark is not there, click the check box next to your user name.
