3.7.2 Offline synchronization
Description of functions
The "Offline synchronization" function can be used to provide connected and active
machines with new or changed configurations, when it is temporarily impossible to
access the machine via the Internet. The configuration is not transferred to the
relevant machine by means of the ePS system, but by the user instead. This can
be carried out using, for instance, a USB flash drive, CD or e-mail.
As a result, the user can copy an ePS configuration on his/her PC to a local
memory medium, and then import this ePS configuration to the relevant machine.
Configuration (PC)
Configuration takes place in the same way as with an "online" machine (as
described in Chapter 3 "Setting up functions").
Note
The user does not receive any support regarding the issue of whether he/she has
selected an appropriate configuration for a machine that does not send any data
to the ePS server via the Internet.
Exporting the configuration (PC)
The user can export a configuration on the PC. He/she must select the
"Offline synchronization" function for this purpose.
