Serial Port

Communication between your ZAURUS and PC requires the use of a serial port (i.e. COM Port) on your PC for either a direct cable connection to your ZAURUS, or a connection via an IR wireless interface unit (such as SHARP CE-IR2 or CE-IR4).

To set the serial port:

1.	Select Serial Port from the Option menu. The Serial Port dialog box is displayed.
2.	If you know what COM port your ZAURUS is connected to, simply select the appropriate port.
3.	If you do not know which port your ZAURUS is connected to, make sure your ZAURUS is connected and in PC-Link mode, and then select the Find ZAURUS button. Each COM port will be automatically checked for the presence of your ZAURUS.
4.	When the correct port has been selected or found, select the OK button to save the setting.


Splitting Fields

When creating a new field mapping for importing or exporting of data between your ZAURUS and PC, there are instances where it is desirable to split the data of a Source File field into two or more (up to 4) parts so they may be mapped individually to Destination File fields.

For example, a person's first name and last name may be in the same field in the Source File, but you may want to put them into separate fields in the Destination File.

To split a field:

1.	Select the Split Field button. The Split Field dialog box is displayed.
2.	Enter the number of parts (1 to 4) you want in the Split Field into box.
3.	Select the appropriate Separating Character box. The separating character determines where the field data will be split during an Import or Export. You can select among:
	o o o o	[,] - Comma [SP] - Space [CR] - Carriage Return [/] - Slash
4.	Select the OK button.
