Setting Up EManifest HotSync Preferences

Before using EManifest, set up HotSync preferences specific to EManifest. Do the following:

Enter an Eclipse serial number to activate the EManifest application.
Identify you as the Palm device user so that manifests are sent to the correct Palm device.
Ensure that the Palm device can communicate with the Eclipse server.

To set up EManifest HotSync preferences:

On the Palm device, tap the Manifest icon to display the Shipping Manifest screen.

Tap the Menu screen button to display the EManifest menu bar.
From the Options men, tap HotSync Preferences to display the HotSync Preferences screen.

In the User ID field, enter the Eclipse ID of the person who will be using this 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.

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 Preferences screen.

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

Select the following options, as needed:

Option

Function

Sync with Eclipse

Uploads signatures to the Eclipse server.

If you need to HotSync the Palm device to the Eclipse server but do not want to upload stored signatures, de-select this option before running the HotSync.

For example, you need to HotSync the Palm device to update information for another application and you do not want to upload the signatures at this time.

Auto Generate Paths

Uses automatically generated synchronization paths when running a HotSync.

De-select to display the Set Paths button displays, which you can use to define your own synchronization paths:

Tap the Set Paths button to display the Sync Paths screen.
In the Path to load manifest files from field, enter the pathway of the file from which to download manifests to Palm devices.
In the Path to save deliveries in field, enter the pathway of the file to which to upload collected signatures.
Tap OK to save the settings and return to the HotSync Preferences 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.
