3.7.3 Connected Community file synchronization
The system supports both automatic and background synchronization when
transferring files between the Connected Community and the system. Background
synchronization allows you to use the system with file synchronization running in
the background.
The system also supports resuming a background file synchronization from the point
at which the synchronization may have been interrupted.
Using auto synchronization
Auto synchronization allows you to keep the office and machine files up to date,
without manually initiating a data synchronization.
You can use the Auto Sync softkey to toggle Auto Sync on or off. When Auto Sync
is on, the display synchronizes with Connected Community every time a *.tag file is
written. By default, these files are created every five minutes when Data recording
for office is enabled in the Mapping/Recording Settings dialog.
While synchronizing the *.tag files, the system checks the display and Connected
Community for other files that may need to be synchronized. If any are found, they
are also synchronized.
Auto Sync does not enable the automatic synchronization of files between
Connected Community and the display if:
l *.tag files are not being created
l there are problems with the Connected Community synchronization process, for
example incorrect credentials
Using background synchronization
1. Start a data synchronization. See 3.7.2 Initiating Connected Community file
exchange from the machine
2.
Press = at any time to return to the system and continue working while the
synchronization continues to run in the background. Full system control and
guidance is supported, including use of autos.
3. To return to the synchronization dialog, select Wireless Data Sync. The current
status of the file exchange is displayed.
