PilotManager with a SunRay
Andy Poggio
30 Nov 00

0.  You need SunRay 1.2 or later software.  This should be the case with 
SunRays installed after the date of this document.

1.  Purchase a SunRay-compatible serial to USB adapter.  I am using an 
Edgeport/2 purchased directly from IONetworks (www.ionetworks.com).  You 
can phone Cathy Collins at 512/306.1124; she offers a 20% discount to 
Sun.

2.  Plug the adapter into a SunRay USB port.  On the Edgeport/2 the 
front panel light will blink green.  I have never seen it stay a steady 
green as the manual describes.  It blinks yellow when you have serial 
traffic passing thru it.

3.  Connect your Palm cradle to port 1 on the Edgeport.

4.  To locate the device, type:
     # 	cd $UTDEVROOT/dev/term
     
5.  In the term directory, find the device; for my Edgeport/2 port 1 it 
is:
    Inside_Out_Networks.04-05-005558a

6.  Make a symbolic link to a unique identifier in your home directory; 
for example, /home/poggio/pilotmgrporta, by typing:
     # ln -s $UTDEVROOT/dev/term/Inside_Out_Networks.04-05-005558a \
     /home/poggio/pilotmgrporta

7.  Start PilotManager.  In Properties under the File menu, set the 
Pilot Port to your symbolic link:  /home/poggio/pilotmgrporta.  Set the 
comm speed to 115200.

8. Sync your Palm.  You may see some delays at the beginning and end of 
the sync process, but at the high comm speed things should be faster 
overall.
