As rule, you do not need to restart the FideHot coupler to reestablish a connection to
FOS.
The figure below illustrates automatic reconnect after replacing a defective cable.

3.5 Synchronizing the databases
Select Initiate Database Swap to initiate manual database synchronization with
FIDELIO. A data protection prompt will appear, to which you must answer with
<y> or <n>.
Be aware that when you press < i > in the main menu of the Fidehot link, a data
protection prompt will be displayed. Various other messages may be displayed at the
same time, which will shift lines in the display. However, the system will continue to wait
for you to acknowledge the database synchronization. To start database
synchronization, enter <y>, even if the cursor is located elsewhere.
The database synchronization will be carried out with the system still running.
This means that you can continue with other activities, such as check-in, check-out etc.,
as these actions take priority over synchronization. However, database synchronization
can still impair system performance. For this reason, we recommend that the database
should be synchronized in idle periods (with just a small number of check-ins or check-
outs, as these activities require fast response times). When database synchronization
is complete, the HOTEL SOLUTION database will contain the latest FOS data – and
only data which is specifically relevant for the HOTEL SOLUTION system.
