There are 4 major events that occur when performing the data exchange process.
1. First event: When you hit the Data Exchange button (lightning bolt), data is sent from the OFM to the mobile device database.
2. You must now download that information to the lock so the lock will be up to date.
3. At the same time you update the lock, the lock sends all the valued information back to the Pocket PC so that you can store it in the main facility. This step requires no intervention from you.It happens simultaneously with Step 2.
4. At this point, you must return to your desktop and hit the lightning bolt again to transfer the recently retrieved information back to your database. In actuality, once your database has been established, Steps 1 and 4 will also occur simultaneously.
To Perform the Data Exchange
1. Make sure your Pocket PC is connected and synchronized in Microsoft ActiveSync software.
2. To begin the Data Exchange, click the Lightning Bolt button in the Omnilock Facility Manager Program (on your desktop). You will see some progress bars that relate to connecting to the remote database.
3. You will then see the Data Exchange dialog. This dialog will only show locks that need to be programmed. It does not show all the locks in your facility, but rather those that you have recently made changes to or that you have just created.
4. You must now choose which locks you wish to go program by clicking on the lock and pressing the Select Button. You may select as many locks as you wish. If you select a location, it will automatically select any locks within that location.
5. Press the Program button to commit that information and send it to the Pocket PC.
6. After the Data Exchange is complete, only the locks you did not select will remain. You must now visit the actual lock in your building to program them. Please see "How do I program and update the locks?" for more information on that.
