Customizing HotSync Application Settings Modem Setup Enables you to perform HotSync operations across a telephone line. To do this you must purchase an optional add-on modem accessory for your handheld, have a modem connected to your Macintosh, and set the following options: Modem. Identifies the type of modem connected to your Macintosh. If your modem does not appear on the list, use the Hayes setting, or choose Custom to enter a command string. Refer to the manual that came with your modem to find the appropriate command string. Port. Identifies the port that Palm Desktop software uses to communicate with the modem. Select the USB, modem or printer port where you connected the modem cable. Modem Speaker. Activates the modem's speaker. If you are having trouble connecting, turn on this option to make sure the modem connected to your Macintosh is responding to incoming calls. You can set both Local and Modem settings and prepare your Macintosh to synchronize using the HotSync cradle or a modem. However, choosing both setups prevents you from using either port for other operations such as printing, faxing, or AppleTalk networking. 4. Close the HotSync Software Setup window. 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, a HotSync operation synchronizes all files between the handheld and Palm Desktop software. 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 handheld or Palm Desktop software, or to avoid synchronizing a particular type of file because you don't use it. In addition to the conduits for Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, Memo Pad, and Note Pad, Palm Desktop software includes System and Install conduits, as well as conduits for MutliMail® Deluxe and for updating the MyPalm® application. The System conduit backs up the system information stored on your handheld, including Graffiti® ShortCuts. The Install conduit installs add-on applications on your handheld. The conduit for MutliMail Deluxe enables you to select e-mail accounts to synchronize, and the update conduit for the MyPalm application allows you to receive newer versions of the MyPalm application.
