Exchanging and updating data: HotSync operations
The HotSync process automatically synchronizes — that is, exchanges and updates
— data between your handheld and Palm Desktop software. Changes you make
on your handheld or Palm Desktop software appear in both places after a HotSync
operation. HotSync technology synchronizes only the needed portions of files,
thus reducing synchronization time.
You can synchronize your data either directly or indirectly. Direct methods include
connecting your handheld to the cradle/cable attached to your computer, or using
infrared communications. An indirect method is using a modem. See Chapter 6 for
information about performing HotSync operations via a modem or IR port.
Performing a HotSync operation for the first time:
Windows
The first time you synchronize your data, you need to enter user information on
Palm Desktop software. After you enter this information and synchronize, the
HotSync Manager recognizes your handheld and doesn’t ask for this information
again.
If you are a System Administrator preparing several handhelds for a group of
users, you may want to create a user profile. See “Creating a user profile” in
Chapter 6 before performing the following steps.
IMPORTANT
You must perform your
first
HotSync operation with a local, direct
connection, or with infrared communication, rather than using a modem.
The following steps assume that you have already installed Palm Desktop
software. If you have not installed this software, see “Installing Palm Desktop
software in Chapter 1 for instructions.
