Set up the Listener
If you are using Palm remote devices, you must run the Listener utility (dblsn) on a Windows device to create a configuration file for the Palm. Use the dblsn -n option to create the configuration file. The configuration file must later be transferred to the Palm device via HotSync.
Once you have a configuration file on your Palm, you can use the Palm Listener utility to edit the message handlers in the configuration file. If you create a new configuration file, it will overwrite the old one.
The Palm Listener also allows you to set three semi-persistent options:
Listening A way to stop the Listener from consuming messages. For example, if you turn off listening on a Treo 180, all messages will go into your default SMS message box on the device.
Enable Actions This is applicable only when Listening is on.
Confirm Actions This is applicable only when actions are enabled.
There is a separate Palm Listener for the two supported devices:
For Kyocera 6035, use lsnk6035.prc
For Treo 180, use lsnT180.prc
When running the Listener on Windows to generate a configuration file for the Palm, you must specify an action. However, on the Palm device you can delete the action using the Handler Editor in the Palm Listener. This way you can consume the message without causing an action.
The device need not be on if it turns on automatically when an SMS message is received. Kyocera and Treo devices do not need to be on for the Listener to work. The battery requirements of these devices are smaller.
