Pilot / PaperPort


USRobotics Pilot

HotSync-ing with the Pilot



               To Access the Pilot:  First time...
                You must go into the HotSync Control Panel and if it is your first time
                "HotSync-ing" make sure that the Local Setup is set to the correct port.  

To access the Pilot you must go into the HotSync Control Panel* and click on "Start" under the HotSync Status. This will launch the HotSync Monitor and will cause PortDoubler to switch to the Pilot.  The port will be in use by the Pilot until you "Stop" the HotSync-ing.

When you are done synchronizing your files you will need to select "Stop" under the HotSync Status in the HotSync Control Panel.  This will quit the HotSync Monitor which will free up the serial port,  allowing the port to be available to another device connected to the PortDoubler.  Below is an example of the HotSync Control Panel. 

*In the HotSync Control Panel you have the option to "Run HotSync Monitor at System Startup". DO NOT activate this option because the Pilot software will grab hold of the port at startup and will not allow the modem from using the port.

 























Visioneer PaperPort
Connected to Port 2

If you have the PaperPort it should be connected to port 2. All you need to do is launch the PaperPort application.  If the port is not in use, PortDoubler will switch to the scanner and activate it.  When you are finished using the PaperPort quit the application and PortDoubler will deactivate the scanners software and switch back to port 1.

Do not toggle the ON and OFF switch located in the PaperPort Control Panel.  PortDoubler will take care of activating and deactivating the PaperPort software automatically.
