Synchronizing to the StrataSync server
To obtain the latest configuration settings, software options and updates, and ownership registration
information, the SmartClass TPS can synchronize with a JDSU server via the internet. The synchro-
nization also stores any user files saved on the unit to the StrataSync server. This procedure should
be undertaken immediately upon receipt of the unit and on a regular (daily) basis thereafter to
ensure that the unit is as up-to-date as possible and to allow all user information to be backed up.
Before attempting to synchronize with StrataSync, please confirm your server settings with your
manger or your company's IT organization.
To sync with StrataSync
1 If you haven’t already done so, specify the user information on the User Info menu - from the
StrataSync main menu, select User Info. A valid account ID must be entered in order to
synchronize with the StrataSync server.
2 If the network connection has already been set up, the Network entry on the StrataSync menu
will be greyed-out.
