After you create the configuration, you need to set up the HotSync
Manager of your Desktop application and the HotSync application of
your handheld to perform a modem HotSync operation.
Network preferences and
TCP/IP software
The Network Preferences settings enable you to use the TCP/IP
software that is included in the handheld operating system. You can
use the TCP/IP software to connect with Internet Service Providers
(ISPs) or dial-in (remote access) servers. Because the TCP/IP software
is a feature of the operating system, you configure all parameters
relating to it from the Preferences application.
To use TCP/IP, you must create a configuration in Connection
Preferences and then create Network Preferences settings.
Note:
The Connection Preferences screen enables you to define
several ways that your handheld can use the modem to
communicate with remote devices. For example, you can
communicate with your ISP server, or with your computer if
you are away on travel. See “Connection preferences”
earlier in this chapter for a complete explanation on how to
create modem configurations.
After you configure both the Connection and Network Preferences,
you can establish a PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol), SLIP (Serial Line
Internet Protocol), or CSLIP (Compressed Serial Line Internet
Protocol) connection with your ISP or dial-in server. You can do this
either by using menu commands from the Network Preferences
screen or by using a third-party application.
