System Requirements

• Netscape Calendar 4.77 (a component of Netscape Communicator 4.77 Professional Edition)
• Note that new versions of Netscape Communicator no longer come with the Calendar program. Netscape is in the process of preparing a completely new version of the Calendar component, which should be ready sometime this year (2000). JeffcoNet will evaluate the new Calendar extensively before we make a decision to upgrade.
• If you acquire (via download or CD-ROM) Communicator version 4.77, you may install it over version 4.5 and still have your Calendar from version 4.5.
• Any Palm Compatible Platform device (e.g. Pilot, PalmPilot, Palm III, WorkPad).
• Palm Desktop 2.0 or greater installed on your PC. If you have an older version, get the upgrade from the Palm web site (www.palm.com).

Installing the Netscape Calendar Link

• You must have successfully installed the Palm Desktop Organizer Software on your computer and verified that your PC can communicate with your Palm device via its cradle before you install the Netscape Calendar link.
• Make sure no other software is running on your computer including Netscape Communicator.
• The Netscape Calendar link tool is called, NCPiLink.exe, and it will be found (after a successfull installation of Netscape Communicator 4.77 Profession Edition) in the directory path listed below:
• C:\Program Files \ Netscape \ Communicator \ Calendar
• Use the Windows Explorer to view the directory listed above.
• Double click the NCPiLink.exe installer to begin the process.

After installing Netscape Calendar Link

After running the Calendar Link for PalmPilot installer, you need to perform the following steps on your PC.

1. Perform a HotSync. This will install the NC Setup application onto the Palm organizer. Note that you may get a message in the log saying "Cannot locate NC Setup. Make sure it is installed on the Palm organizer". This message is normal, and will go away once the NC Setup application is installed.
2.  Run NC Setup on the Palm organizer. Enter your user name,  password and server as indicated below:
• User: [enter your complete name as you enter it when accessing the PC version of Netscape Calendar]
• Password: [enter your normal JeffcoNet password]
• Server: enter jeffcocal.jeffco.k12.co.us
• Node: enter 10000
3. On your PC, locate HotSync Manager's icon (it's at the right of the task bar, next to the current time). Click on the icon to bring up HotSync Manager's menu. Choose the "Custom..." menu command. This will bring up a dialog box that lets you choose which PalmPilot database to HotSync.
4. You may wish to review the settings for each of Calendar Events and Tasks.
• If you already have data in the Palm organizer's Date Book or To Do List, you will probably want to leave the settings to their default value ("Synchronize the files"). This will copy the data from the organizer into Calendar and vice versa.
• If you do not have any data in the Palm organizer, you can change the settings so that the information in Calendar completely replaces that in the organizer ("Desktop overwrites Handheld").
5. Perform a second HotSync.  This will synchronize your Calendar data!
