Setting Up Palm RDC HotSync Options

Before uploading count information from the Palm device to Eclipse, set up Palm RDC on the Palm device. Use the HotSync Setup screen within the Palm RDC application to do the following:

Enter an Eclipse serial number to activate the Eclipse Palm RDC software.
Identify you as the Palm device user.
Ensure that the Palm device can communicate with the Eclipse server.

To set up RDC HotSync options:

Display the Palm RDC application on your Palm device.

Tap the Menu screen button to display the Palm RDC menu bar.
Tap Configuration and then tap HotSync Preferences to display the HotSync Setup screen.

Tap the Enter Serial No. box to display the Eclipse Serial Number screen.

Enter a serial number assigned for the Palm device and tap OK to return to the HotSync Setup screen.

This serial number is required for Palm RDC to synchronize with Eclipse.

Note: The serial number assigned to one Palm device cannot be used with any other device. Sharing serial numbers violates your licensing agreement. If you do not know what the correct serial number is, contact Eclipse Advance Technical support.

In the User ID field, enter the Eclipse User ID of the person who will be using this the Palm device.
In the Host Name field, enter the name of the Eclipse server.

Note: You must use a Domain Name Server (DNS) name. You cannot use IP addresses. If you do not know the name of the Eclipse server, contact Eclipse Advance Technical support.

Select the following options, as needed:

Option	Function
Sync with Eclipse	Select to upload count information to the Eclipse server. If you need to HotSync the Palm device to the Eclipse server but do not want to upload count information, de-select this option before running the HotSync. For example, in the middle of an inventory count, you need to HotSync the Palm device to update information for another application and you do not want to upload the incomplete count information.
Clear Sent Orders	Select if you want count information to be deleted from the Palm device after it is uploaded to the Eclipse server. If you anticipate needing to re-upload orders, de-select this option. Once orders are processed you can later select this option to clear them on the next HotSync.
Auto Generate Paths	Select to use automatically generated synchronization paths when running a HotSync. De-select to display the Set Paths button, which you can use to define your own synchronization paths: Tap the Set Paths button to display the Sync Paths screen. In the Path and name of download file field, enter the pathway of the file to which to download the count information. In the Path and name of upload file field, enter the pathway of the file to which to upload the count information. Tap OK to save the settings and return to the HotSync Setup screen. Note: We recommend that you select Auto Generate Paths. If you want to set your own paths, contact Eclipse Advance Technical support.

Tap OK to save settings and exit the screen.
