Configuring TCP/IP synchronization for the Palm Computing Platform

There are two ways of using TCP/IP networking in a Palm device. In either case, you must connect to a Remote Access Service (RAS). The difference lies in how you make the connection to the RAS.

When using TCP/IP, the MobiLink synchronization server can be any machine on the network that is accessible via TCP/IP.

Before synchronization, the following conditions must be satisfied:

  1. The device must be in its cradle.

  2. If you are using the serial port to connect to a Windows NT machine running RAS, the HotSync Manager and other applications that use the serial port must be shut down. Windows NT only allows one application to use a serial port at a time.

  3. The MobiLink synchronization server must be started. By default, the MobiLink synchronization server listens for TCP/IP communications over port 2439.

  4. The Palm device must have Network settings in place so that it can connect to the network. Modem settings are also required if using a modem to dial into an ISP.
