Your
host computer,
which stores your corporate data,
should have an ethernet connection
available. This computer should
also have enough free disk space
to store a small subset of the
data (usually less than 10 percent
of the total data stored by TRACS)
which will be sent to the "intermediating
PC", described below, in
preparation for loading onto the
handheld PC (HPC) or laptop.
The intermediating
PC, which will hold the
data to be transferred to the
HPC / laptop, also requires an
ethernet connection; this ethernet
connection will connect to the
host computer’s ethernet
connection; this connection may
also be made by connecting to
the ethernet hub of a network
of PCs, if one already exists.
This intermediating PC should
be a moderate performance PC running
Windows 95 or higher.
The handheld
PC (HPC) will connect to
the intermediating PC using a
special cable provided with the
Sales Power system. One end of
the cable will connect to a port
on the intermediating PC while
the other end connects to the
HPC, or its docking station, depending
on the HPC model selected. The
data synchronization tool, provided
with the Sales Power system, controls
the data flow between the two
devices. If the
laptop is chosen instead
of the HPC, it will connect to
the intermediating PC via Ethernet,
Serial, or dial-up connection. |
