How to Connect Your Palm PilotT to a Serial Network
The Pilot, PalmPilot, Palm III, Palm IIIe, Palm IIIx,
Palm IIIxe, Palm IIIc, Palm VII, and Palm
VIIx handhelds by Palm, and the TRGpro®,
and HandEra 330 by Handera all use the same
synchronization cable.
This cable, available from Palm dealers,
brings the Palm's serial port out to a DB9 female connector,
configured as a DCE
device. This allows the cable to be connected directly to
a PC's serial port, which is configured as DTE.
This family of Palm devices supports lines TD,
RD,
RTS
and CTS
and works at RS-232 compatible signal levels of ±5 volts.
The cable for these handhelds is not compatible with any other
handheld or other Palm handheld. The Palm Hotsync® cable is
configured as a DCE device. Most likely, the device you are
connecting to is also configured as DCE, so you will need
to make a male to male null modem connection.
