IBM DB2 Everyplace Sync Server Administration Guide Version 7 Release 2 Modification 1
After the DB2 Everyplace Sync Server is running, you must configure a
mobile device to communicate with the server. The DB2 Everyplace Sync
Server uses TCP/IP to communicate with mobile devices. Most devices
support TCP/IP connections using modems, wireless LAN (802.11b), or
ethernet interfaces. This section covers how to use Windows Remote
Access Service to make a TCP/IP connection to a Palm OS device connected to
the server using a serial cradle. You do not need to complete these
steps if you have an ethernet cradle for your Palm OS device.
Alternatively, you can use the MochaSoft Mocha W32 PPP shareware program to
connect to the device. For information on Mocha W32 PPP, visit
