4.13.1 Automatic Synchronization
To help keep the databases on both the PC and the I™ up-to-
date, the user can select to automatically synchronize an I™ with
the PC upon connection.
This automatic synchronization uses a background thread that balances the
load of simultaneous synchronizations. Depending upon the synchronization
load and available communication lines, the synchronization process can last
for several minutes.
Warning The automatic synchronization mode is a background function
and, as such, there is no feedback on progress of the synchronization on nei-
ther the device nor the PC. s
Only limited information about the synchronization and update process is
available when using automatic synchronization. Click on a particular device
within area A to display within area D of the main window the time of the
last synchronization.
Please note that the automatic synchronization feature will not trigger if the
last synchronization of an I™ unit is within less than a 5 day
period and the device configuration parameters have not changed. Manual
synchronization must be employed in this instance.
4.13.2 Manual Synchronization
The user can select an I™ for manual synchronization upon
connection. Right click on it to access the context menu, and select “Syn-
chronize”. If a grayed “Synchronize” command appears, this indicates that
the connection is not yet available. It could take several seconds for the PC
software to recognize a newly connected I™, but the user will be
notified after a successful synchronization.
