User data of client machine A
● The rst client machine that
connected to the server.
● Has the data of user 1 and
user 2 registered.
User data of client machine
B
● Has the other data of user
1 and the data of user 3
registered.
User data registered in the server
machine
● The data of user 1 registered in
the server machine is
synchronized using the data of
client machine A.
● If a problem occurs in the server machine or a client machine after starting synchronization, the data with
[Device-Specic (Not Shared)] set for its scope of sharing in the machine with the problem returns to its
default settings and is not restored.
● A machine operating as a server machine will not completely enter sleep mode while one or more machines
connected as a client machine are operating.
● If a machine operating as the server machine is also connected as a client machine and is set to connect to
localhost via a proxy server, that machine will not completely enter sleep mode.
● To synchronize custom settings between machines, the machine authentication settings and group
management settings must be the same. For information on specifying the same authentication settings,
see the instructions for the login application. For group management settings, it is recommended that the
settings in one machine are exported and imported into the other machines. When Department IDs are
used for group management, set the same Department IDs for each machine.
● To synchronize the information regarding the network places for keychains, the order that the network
places are registered must be the same in all machines.
● If a machine you are using is an older version, registered shortcuts and keychains may not be synchronized.
● If synchronization of custom settings (client) and synchronization of custom settings (server) are started,
<Action When Maximum Number of Users Exceeded>(P. 812) is set to <Delete Oldest User Settings> and
cannot be changed.
● Set the correct time in the SNTP settings (
<SNTP Settings>(P. 743) ) before enabling the server functions
in the machine operating as the server machine.
● If synchronization of custom settings (client) is started, the data subject to synchronization (including the
Address Book) becomes unable to be imported or exported. For information on importing/exporting
settings data, see Importing/Exporting the Setting Data(P. 682) . For information on the data subject to
synchronization of custom settings, see List of Items That Can Be Personalized(P. 1125) .
