5 On the StrataSync screen, press the Sync soft key to start the synchronisation.
As the process runs, the sync state is displayed in the lower left.
The server name or IP and port are shown in the lower right.
The StrataSync software version is displayed on the cloud icon.
You can press the Stop soft key to stop the synchronisation.
6 Upon synchronization with the StrataSync server, the unit will send to the server the following
information:
– The unit’s serial number.
– The unit’s hardware information - constituent assemblies and their revision levels.
– The unit’s MAC address.
– The unit’s User settings - name (user/technician) and ID.
If the configuration information contained on the server is newer than that on the unit, the
server will be considered to be the most up-to-date.
7 The server will then send any files to the unit being synchronized that it determines are newer
than those on the unit.
8 The unit will then send any Reports, Configuration profiles, screen shots, etc. that have been
saved on the unit since the last configuration.
9 The server then applies any applicable Options or Configuration Templates to the unit.
When successful, a message box will be displayed.
For applying the option, the message is “New option was deployed to this unit by StrataSync.
It will become effective after the next startup.”
For applying the configuration, the message is “New configuration was deployed to this unit by
StrataSync. It will become effective after the next startup.”
10 Lastly, if any upgrades are available, the user will be informed of their availability and asked to
verify their desire to receive the upgrade.
11 When synchronization is complete, the Status will indicate “Sync Complete”. The unit may be
disconnected from the server.
The unit has been synchronized to the StrataSync Server.
NOTE:
If an Option Code was entered as a part of synchronization, power must be cycled to the unit to
complete the process and initialize the option.
