Chapter 21 Performing HotSync® Operations 3. Adjust the following options as needed. Serial Port Speed Modem Setup String Identifies the port for the modem. If you are unsure of the port assignment, look at the Modem Properties in the Windows Control Panel. 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 your handheld to synchronize with your computer at the fastest speed possible. Identifies the modem type or manufacturer. Refer to your modem manual or faceplate for its type or settings. If you're not sure of your modem type or if your modem doesn't match any that appear in the list, select Hayes Basic. 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 it is recommended by the manufacturer. 4. Click OK. To prepare a Mac 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, or AppleTalk networking are running on that serial port. Make sure your computer is disconnected from all online services, such as CompuServe and America Online (AOL). This helps to avoid conflicts with the serial port. In addition, your computer must be on, and it should not be in sleep mode when receiving a call from a remote handheld. 2. Double-click the HotSync Manager icon in the Palm folder. 3. Click the HotSync Controls tab and enable the Transport Monitor, if it is not already enabled. 366
