It's the server, so it cannot tell the client anything, and the sync option in the menu at the top of the screen will always be grayed out. This is the reason why there is no manual sync functionality in mSecure on your main computer. Again, it's just sitting as the server waiting to be interacted with by one of the client devices. The server will never tell the client anything. In the case of mSecure, the clients communicate with the server to TELL it a sync is necessary if the client knows it has changes to sync over to the server, and it also ASKS the server if there are changes to sync in to the client. A "server" just sits on the network and waits for the clients to connect with it. In the mSecure sync settings on your main computer, you will see a checkbox called "Main Computer", which is just a more approachable way of saying it's a "server," as many people don't know this type of technical lingo. Your main computer is what is known as a "server", which is the computer with which the "client" devices initiate communication. On your main computer you will not be able to perform a manual sync. The syncing in mSecure is set by default to be triggered automatically, and a manual sync can be initiated only on a "client" device. You can see from my screenshot that the option is there without the "Main Computer' toggle being enabled. Because of that, the main computer will not have an option to enable or disable the auto-sync. ![]() The Main computer or server cannot imitate a sync. Requiring an outside connection gives people no confidence that they are synchronizing data locally. Which is exactly what we are trying NOT TO DO. In every way, mSecure 5.5 acts like our passwords are being stored off site. Once mSecure 5.5 was connected to the outside world the databases synchronized perfectly. Then, making no changes whatsoever to mSecure 5.5, I plugged the Cat6 Cable back into the ONT. I tried this 9 different ways, including quitting and restarting mSecure 5.5 on each computer several times. No indications of any kind are presented and the databases do not sync. ![]() When I attempt to synchronize the data using the MacBook, File > Sync, it does NOTHING. Below this area under "Sync Status” it shows the two computers with green icons between them indicating they are connected. Unlike the Mac Pro, the MacBook has a "Sync automatically" option. Over on the MacBook, “Main computer" is not checked. "Sync Status” on the Mac Pro only shows itself and the Wi-Fi network it is connected to. There is no ”Sync Automatically" on the Mac Pro, “Main computer" is checked. “Sync via Wifi” selected on both computers. This is the point where our Internet service first enters the building.Īll elements were connected to the router, Wi-Fi was going and working. I do appreciate your efforts, no one can accuse mSeven Software of poor communications.Īs a test, I un-plugged the Cat6 cable where it connects to the ONT (Optical Network Terminal).
