Communicating With Other Devices; Hotsync - Aim TTi PSA-T Serie Manual De Instrucciones

Categories
Applications such as Media and Documents retain the concept of categories for files on the memory card
as well as files within the internal memory of the handheld.
The category list for the Media application is called Albums, and separate lists are maintained for the
internal memory and the card. Creating a new album on the card creates a new sub-folder within the
folder DCIM.
The category list for the Documents application combines all relevant files into a single list. An icon
shows whether the document is on the card or within the internal memory of the handheld. Creating and
changing categories does not affect the folder location. All files saved to the card as native Microsoft
Office format will be in the folder Documents, while files saved in the alternative "native" format (e.g.
Word to Go format) will be in the folder Palm/programs/DXTG. These latter files have the extension .pdb
and can not be used on a PC except by using Palm Desktop software.

26.8.9. Communicating with Other Devices

Palm devices incorporate a variety of methods for communicating with peripherals, personal computers,
and other handheld computers.
USB
All current Palm handheld computers incorporate a USB interface. This is intended for communication
with a personal computer or another device that can act as a USB host (the handheld computer is
defined as a USB peripheral).
NOTE Do NOT try to make a direct USB connection to a PC which has not had the Palm software
loaded onto it in advance. See section 26.3.1.
Serial
Some Palm handheld computers, including the Palm T
This is used primarily for interfacing external peripherals such as keyboards. The PSA1301/2701 uses
this interface to communicate with the T
Infra Red
Most handheld computers, including the Palm T
used to communicate with peripherals or laptop computers which have IR, but its primary purpose is to
communicate with other handheld computers. The "Beam" command from the Palm menu system
provides a quick and convenient way to transfer data (and even applications) to another handheld
computer.
Bluetooth and WiFi
Many handheld computers, including the Palm T
allows them to communicate with other handheld computers, mobile phones, and personal computers.
The Palm T | X also incorporate WiFi for wireless connection to a Network.

26.9. HotSync

HotSync® is the Palm method for "synchronising" data between the Palm T
Synchronising can encompass loading new files, updating (overwriting) existing files, and backing up
files. The actions can be bi-directional. Exactly what is performed during a HotSync operation is defined
within the Palm Desktop application on the PC. See Appendix B el apartado 27.3.
HotSync requires that the standard Palm software applications are installed onto a personal computer.
Users of the PSA1301/2701T who do not intend to use Palm Desktop and other Palm PC applications
should ignore HotSync.
