Installation
Unpack the download archive into a place of your liking.
Include the file Java/SyncBuilder.jar into your
CLASSPATH environment variable. Then check for successful installation.
Checking for successful installation
Make sure the current directory (.) is included in your CLASSPATH environment
variable! Then change to the Java/samplecode directory.
Execute java dlptest. This will run the software
through a short display of its functionality.
Be sure to choose . (dot) as the device to which
your Palm device is connected. This means you wish to use Network HotSyncTM technology . Make sure you have the Windows NT
RAS server setup correctly and you have the Network Hotsync software installed on your Palm device . Read the
instructions here to find out how to obtain the software and how
to setup RAS.
Troubleshooting
Connection hangs after dial-up
If the Palm device can successfully establish a PPP connection with your Windows NT RAS server, but it hangs
after the connection has been established, then do the following:
Go to the HotSync screen on your Palm device . Activate the menu. Turn off "LanSync". Go to the
"Main PC setup" dialog. Make sure that only the IP-address but not the name of the main PC are
entered (that is, the name field must be blank, and you need to clear it if it contains an entry).
Then try again.
Important Shortcomings Of The Windows NT Version
- No native support-code is included. This means there is only Network HotSync, no serial HotSync.
No .PRC and .PDB files can be processed. Not all of the Palm device īs built-in applications are supported.
- Fails with the Microsoft JVM. I have used it with an older build (came with SDK2.0) and it spewed
Exceptions within the GregorianCalendar class. It works fine with Sunīs JDK1.1.6 though.
