B - 8 MC17/MC17A/MC17T/MC17U Product Reference Guide
Synchronizing with the Server
When the synchronization process is initiated, the AirBEAM Smart Client attempts to open an FTP session
using the AirBEAM Smart Client configuration. Once connected, the client processes the specified packages.
Packages are loaded only if the server version of a given package is different from the version loaded on the
client. Once the upload process is complete, the AirBEAM Smart Client closes the FTP session with the server.
The AirBEAM Smart Client can launch an FTP session with the server either manually, when initiated by the
user, or automatically.
