<p>You can either let KPilot detect these values automatically (for this you need your handheld ready and connected to the PC) or enter them manually.</p>
<p>Please enter the username exactly as set on the handheld. </p>
<p>If setting the device type manually (i.e., if automatic detection did not work for you), please look below for tips on choosing the right device name. {0...n} means a number from 0 up to a very large number, though usually just 255.
<p>
Serial Port: an old method of connection, used primarily by the original line of Palm Pilots, and various Palm-based cellphones. Device name will look like /dev/ttyS{0...n} (Linux) or /dev/cuaa{0...n} (FreeBSD).</p>
<p>
USB Port: A newer style of connection, used by most newer Palms, Handsprings, and Sony Clies. Device name will look like /dev/ttyUSB{0...n} or /dev/usb/tts/{0...n} (Linux) or /dev/ucom{0...n} (FreeBSD). On Linux, definitely check both 0 and 1: newer devices tend to use 1; older devices tend to use 0.</p>
<p>
Infrared: (pronounced infra-red) is a relatively slow connection type used solely as a last resort. Device name will be /dev/ircomm0 or /dev/ttyS{0...n} (Linux), or /dev/sio{0...n} (FreeBSD).</p>
<p>
Bluetooth: A new connection method, this is used almost exclusively on new, high-end devices, like the Tungsten T3 or the Zire 72. Device name will be /dev/usb/ttub/{0...n} or /dev/ttyUB{0...n} (Linux), or /dev/ttyp{0...n} (FreeBSD).</p>
<p>
Network: This has not been tested by any of the KPilot developers themselves (hardware donations always accepted!), but it has been reported that setting the device to "net:any" will work for network-enabled devices. However, this has also been known to lock KPilot up when doing anything other than just syncing. Use it with caution.
