HotSync
®
HotSync
®
technology enables you to synchronize data between
one or more 3Com
®
connected organizers and the Palm
™
Desktop software. To synchronize data, you must connect your
Palm III
™
connected organizer and Palm Desktop either directly
with a cable or indirectly with a modem or network.
With HotSync technology you can:
■ Synchronize the Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, Memo Pad
and Expense entries on your Palm III organizer with the entries on
your computer, and vice versa.
■ Manage individual or multiple 3Com connected organizers with a
centralized computer.
■ Keep your data safe by automatically creating backup copies each
time your synchronize.
The HotSync Process and the HotSync Manager
The HotSync process automatically synchronizes data between your
Palm III organizer and Palm Desktop. Changes you make on your
Palm III organizer or Palm Desktop 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 by connecting your Palm III organizer directly
to your computer with the cradle or indirectly with a modem or
network.
The HotSync Manager oversees the synchronization process. It runs in
the background and monitors a communications port on your
computer for a HotSync command from a 3Com connected organizer.
When it “hears” a HotSync command, HotSync Manager
synchronizes data in the Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, Memo
Pad, Mail and Expense applications. It can synchronize the data even
when Palm Desktop is not running!
Once you complete a few simple setup steps, performing a HotSync
operation is as simple as pressing a button. Follow the steps in the next
section to complete the setup.
