Once you have setup your passwords, locations, and
templates you can download the information from the
PC to the PDA via the HotSync
®
process. The PDA will
be in
Open-Access Mode until the first HotSync
®
operation is performed. In Open-Access mode your
machines are vulnerable to any PDA with the Handheld
Software loaded on them, however, only a limited
number of utilities are available in this mode: Get/Set
Time, Get Setup, Start/End Cycles, Audit Count,
Service Mode, and Run Diagnostics. It is recommended
that you sync your PDAs with the Management
Software and initialize your machines as soon as
possible after installation. After the first HotSync
®
operation has been performed the PDAs will then be in
Synced Mode, where all features will become
available.
Before performing a HotSync
