    I.  Trouble Shooting

    1.  Parallel Cable Connection

    If you have configured Intellisync to 
    communicate over a parallel cable, and you do not get
    a connection, check the following:

        a.  Make sure that both the local and remote computers 
            have selected a parallel cable connection in 
            Connection Setup Manager.

        b.  If the connection is intermittent, make sure the 
            cable is securely fastened to the parallel port.

        c.  Verify that there are no conflicts with other
            hardware devices such as sound cards or network
            adapters. The default IRQ setting for many 
            sound cards is IRQ 7. This is also the IRQ 
            that is used for communication over LPT1. 
            Consult your adapter documentation for 
            changing the default IRQ on these boards.

        d.  If you have selected LPT2, the default IRQ on the
            I/O communication adapter may not be set to IRQ 5. 
            Try selecting IRQ 7 from the Change Connection 
            Settings in the Connection Setup dialog box, or
            consult the I/O adapter documentation for changing
            the IRQ for LPT2 to IRQ 5.  If you have a bus
            mouse, it may be set to IRQ 5. If the mouse 
            freezes after configuring Intellisync for
            Windows for LPT2, there is an IRQ conflict. Consult 
            your mouse hardware documentation for changing
            the default IRQ.

        e.  If your computer has more than one parallel port, 
            make sure the cable is attached to the correct port.
            Don't laugh, this is a common oversight.

        f.  When connecting to a slower computer, say Pentium 
            to a 486, you may need to start Intellisync
            for Windows on the slower computer first.

        g.  The parallel cable must be LapLink(R) compatible
            and have male DB-25 connectors at both ends.
            If you are not using a LapLink parallel cable,
            make sure the cable is configured with the
            following pin connections:
  
                25 Pin             25 Pin 
                -------            -------
                Pin 2       ---    Pin 15 
                Pin 3       ---    Pin 13 
                Pin 4       ---    Pin 12 
                Pin 5       ---    Pin 10 
                Pin 6       ---    Pin 11 
                Pin 15      ---    Pin 2 
                Pin 13      ---    Pin 3 
                Pin 12      ---    Pin 4 
                Pin 10      ---    Pin 5 
                Pin 11      ---    Pin 6 
                Pin 25      ---    Pin 25 (Ground-Ground) 

	h.  There is currently no support of Parallel
            connections on Windows NT.
  
    2.  Serial Cable Connection

    If you have configured Intellisync to
    communicate over a serial cable, and you do not get 
    a connection, check the following:

        a.  Make sure that both the local and remote computers 
            have selected the proper serial cable connection
            in Connection Setup Manager. The baud rate 
            setting must be the same on both systems.

        b.  If the connection is intermittent, make sure the
            cable is securely fastened to the serial port.

        c.  Verify that there are no conflicts with other
            serial devices. Conflicts will occur when serial
            devices are sharing interrupts(IRQ's).  In a
            standard configuration (if you computer is equipped 
            with 4 serial ports), COM1 and COM3 will share IRQ 4, 
            and COM2 and COM4 share IRQ 3. If your mouse is on 
            COM1 and you're trying to connect Intellisync over
            COM3, there will be an IRQ conflict. In this case, 
            your mouse may freeze and you will not make a 
            connection with the remote computer.

        d.  If your computer has more than one serial port, 
            make sure the cable is attached to the correct port.  

        e.  When connecting to a slower computer, say Pentium 
            to a 486, you may need to start Intellisync
            for Windows on the slower computer first.

        f.  The serial cable must be LapLink compatible, and 
            can be either a 9-pin or a 25-pin female connector 
            on both ends. If you are not using a LapLink 
            serial cable, make sure the cable is configured 
            with the following pin connections:
  
        9 Pin             25 Pin         25 Pin       9 Pin 
                ------          -------             -------         
        Pin 5             Pin 7    --     Pin 7       Pin 5 
        (Ground-Ground)            
        Pin 3             Pin 2    --     Pin 3       Pin 2 
        (Transmit-Receive) 
        Pin 7             Pin 4    --     Pin 5       Pin 8 
        (RTS - CTS)              
        Pin 6             Pin 6    --     Pin 20      Pin 4 
        (DSR - DTR) 
        Pin 2             Pin 3    --     Pin 2       Pin 3 
        (Receive-Transmit
        Pin 8             Pin 5    --     Pin 4       Pin 7 
        (CTS - RTS) 
        Pin 4             Pin 20   --     Pin 6       Pin 6 
        (DTR - DSR) 

        g.  Some notebook computers use the Windows loadable 
            device driver POWER.DRV for power conservation. 
            If you are experiencing trouble connecting to 
            a remote computer, and you have tried all of the 
            above steps, set the Power Management list box
            setting in the Power Control Panel Applet 
            to "Standard" or "Off."

    3.  Infrared Connection

    If you have configured Intellisync to
    communicate with an infrared connection, and you 
    do not get a connection, check the following:

        a.  Make sure that both the local and remote 
            computers have selected the proper infrared 
            connection in Connection Setup Manager.

        b.  There must be no obstacles blocking the line 
            of sight between the infrared adapters.
    
        c.  The adapters should be placed away from any 
            light or electromagnetic source. These can 
            include such items as wireless headphones, 
            halogen desk lamps, and even computer monitors.

        d.  When connecting to a slower computer, say Pentium
            to a 486, you may need to start Intellisync
            for Windows on the slower computer first.

        e.  Some notebook computers use the Windows loadable 
            device driver POWER.DRV for power conservation. 
            If you are experiencing trouble connecting to 
            a remote computer, and you have tried all of the 
            above steps, set the Power Management list box
            setting in the Power Control Panel Applet to
            "Standard" or "Off."

    II.  Synchronization

    1. File Synchronization
    
    When performing a file synchronization between two 
    computers, and selecting to copy only files that 
    are newer, for instance, Intellisync
    compares the time stamps on the files on both 
    computers and copies the files with the latest 
    time stamp.  This may cause the wrong files to 
    be transferred if the internal clock in the computers
    are not in sync.

    If you have selected synchronize options to copy only
    files that are newer, or older, be aware of time 
    differences between the two computers. The following
    scenario may cause unwanted results when the file
    C:\BIN\FRED.BIN exists on both computers:

    - Local Computer -- Date 1/1/91, Time 1:00:00.
    - Remote Computer -- Date 1/1/91, Time 2:00:00.
    - Modify FRED.BIN on the local computer (time stamp
      1:05:00). This is now the newer file of the two
      files, although, the time stamp on the file is 
      older than the one on the remote computer.
    - Synchronize  C:\BIN [Local]  <<  C:\BIN [Remote].
    - Select options, copy only newer files.
    - Begin synchronization.

    FRED.BIN, from the remote computer, will overwrite FRED.BIN
    on the local computer because the time is newer (2:00:00).
    If the times on the two systems were the same, there 
    would be no overwrite of the file.

    III. Other Issues

    1. Using Intellisync with TranXit.

    a. Drive Resource Security.
       
       Intellisync File Transfer and File Synchronize 
       allow you to set drive resource security for a 
       remote computer to "Inbox Transfer Only".  
       When this setting is in effect, the remote
       computer is not able to view the drive resources 
       on your computer. The only way the remote computer
       can get files to your computer is to transfer them
       through its outbox to your inbox. TranXit does
       not support this security scheme.  When you are 
       connected to a version of TranXit, the default 
       security will always be "Drive Specific".  You may 
       restrict the TranXit user to specific drives by 
       setting the appropriate "Access Rights" on the 
       drive.
    
    b. Connecting to TranXit 1.x.
    
       If you are connecting to TranXit 1.x using Intellisync 
       File Transfer or File Synchronize, you must initiate 
       operations from the Intellisync application. TranXit
       1.x does not support bi-directional transfers, and
       requires one computer to be the master (initiator), 
       making the other computer the slave.  The Intellisync
       application will automatically send a request to
       the TranXit 1.x computer to make it become the slave.
       Initiating requests (copy,move,...) from the computer
       running TranXit 1.x may have unpredictable results.
       
    2. Installing support for an Infrared Device from the
       Connection Setup Manager if support for an Infrared Device
       had not been installed during setup.

    If you choose not to install Infrared Support during 
    installation of Intellisync, you can install this 
    support at any time by following these steps:

       1) Start the Connection Setup Manager (CSM) using the
          Intellisync Agent or the Start menu.
       2) Once the CSM has started, click on the Local
          Devices tab.
       3) If the Local Device tree is not expanded (i.e. 
          the only item in the list is Computer), then expand
          the Local Device tree by double-clicking on the
          Computer item.
       4) Locate the Infrared Devices item in the list, and 
          using the mouse, right click on that item. A 
          context menu should appear.
       5) From the context menu, select the IR Wizard menu
          command. The IR Wizard application will start and 
          guide you through installation of support for
          your Infrared Device.
