The Assisted File Transfer facility allows you to synchronize the contents of laptop and
enterprise folders via the OmniAccess 3500 NLG card, staging information in the card
when either the laptop or the OmniAccess 3500 NLG gateway is not reachable. This
enterprise folders via the OmniAccess 3500 NLG card, staging information in the card
when either the laptop or the OmniAccess 3500 NLG gateway is not reachable. This
feature is configured per application; that is, you specify for each application the
enterprise folder and the laptop folder that need to be kept in sync. The enterprise
folder is a Windows share that is available for export and is mounted from the
respective application server into the file system of the OmniAccess 3500 NLG
gateway. The direction of the synchronization — from the enterprise to the laptop, or
vice versa — is a mandatory configuration parameter. When the direction is from the
enterprise to the laptop, the enterprise folder is replicated to the specified
OmniAccess 3500 NLG laptop folder. When the direction is from the laptop to the
enterprise folder and the laptop folder that need to be kept in sync. The enterprise
folder is a Windows share that is available for export and is mounted from the

gateway. The direction of the synchronization — from the enterprise to the laptop, or

enterprise to the laptop, the enterprise folder is replicated to the specified
OmniAccess 3500 NLG laptop folder. When the direction is from the laptop to the
enterprise, the files in the laptop folder are copied into the enterprise folder. It is also
possible to bind application table entries with user groups, so that for every
application the directory synchronization only applies to the laptops of the associated
user groups. The default group called BROADCAST corresponds to all users.
To configure an application for use of the AFT facility, you must create a new entry in
the Application Table associated with the AFT and set all necessary parameters. There
is one pre-configured application in the Application Table, called ASSETMGMT (Figure
28). ASSETMGMT is the OmniAccess 3500 NLG internal application that periodically
