Configuring the Synchronization Connection Method
When configuring synchronization, select a connection method. Then, click Next to continue to the appropriate connection options.
■ Connection Method (IP to IP/Network):
○ Answer an incoming connection. Sets GoldMine to wait for an incoming connection from another GoldMine or GoldSync system. When the outside system makes contact, GoldMine accepts the connection, establishes a conversation with the remote system, and begins transferring data. The Wait for Incoming Connection dialog box appears (see To Configure the Wait for Incoming Connection Options).
○ Connect to remote. Sets GoldMine to contact the remote GoldMine or GoldSync system via modem, direct Internet connection, or network. The Connect/Send E-mail to Remote dialog box appears (see To Configure Connect/Send E-mail to Remote (Connect to Remote)).
■ No connection with remote:
○ Send a transfer set to remote by E-mail. Sets GoldMine to send a transfer set as an attachment to Internet e-mail. The Connect/Send E-mail to Remote dialog box appears (see To Configure Connect/Send E-mail to Remote (Transfer Set by E-mail)).
○ Create a transfer set. Displays the Create a Transfer Set dialog box where you specify the destination for the transfer set, and an optional password. GoldMine does not attempt to contact another GoldMine or GoldSync system (see To Configure the Create a Transfer Set Options).
○ Retrieve a transfer set. Displays the Retrieve a Transfer Set dialog box where you define the location where GoldMine can find the transfer set, options for unpacking and deleting the transfer set, and an optional password. GoldMine does not attempt to contact another GoldMine or GoldSync system (To Configure the Retrieve a Transfer Set Options).
