Synchronizing remotely

Note

M-Business Client has a recoverable synchronization feature. If your remote (wireless) synchronization is

interrupted, because you lose your wireless connection, for example, M-Business Client automatically makes

several attempts to complete the synchronization, picking up where it left off. This process is automatic; no

error message is displayed and you do not need to do take any action.

If you do see an error message indicating that your synchronization failed to complete, it means that M-

Business Client was unable to recover your synchronization and you have to initiate a new synchronization,

which must start over from the beginning.

Using a modem or other networking device to synchronize

On your device, you can synchronize with M-Business Server either from within M-Business Client or from

within M-Business Connect.

The exact steps involved in configuring a modem (or other networking device) to work with M-Business

Connect depend on your device and the modem you use.

♦ To synchronize from within M-Business Client

1. Attach the modem or other networking device.

2. Dial up or connect to your internet service provider (ISP), or a direct access number, in the usual manner.

See your device or ISP documentation, or your system administrator, for help with connecting to the

internet or a direct access number.

3. In M-Business Client, choose File»Work Online.

You can skip this step if you were already online when you started M-Business Client.

4. Choose File»Sync.

M-Business Client automatically accesses the modem or network connection and synchronizes with

M-Business Server.

♦ To synchronize from within M-Business Connect

1. Attach the modem or other networking device.

2. Dial up or connect to your internet service provider (ISP), or a direct access number, in the usual manner.
