Checklist for Xchange Agent
Ensure that LapLink is running on the host computer
LapLink must be running on the remote computer before an
agent can connect to it and synchronize files. On the guest
computer merely keep Windows running. (LapLink will start
automatically when the agent runs.)
Make sure that a scheduler program is running
To schedule Xchange Agents—and have them run on
schedule—you must have a supported scheduler program
running.
NOTE When LapLink Scheduler is running, a red alarm
clock icon appears on the Windows taskbar.
Change an Xchange Agent schedule in your scheduler
program
Once you've created an Xchange Agent schedule in
LapLink, revise or delete the schedule in the scheduler pro
-
gram itself.
Close an Xchange Agent before it is scheduled to run
An agent cannot run on schedule while it remains open in
Xchange Agent.
Create an Address Book entry to meet the security re-
quirements of the remote computer
If the remote computer requires a name and password, cre-
ate an Address Book entry and include the name and pass-
word required by that computer. LapLink can then send this
information and connect automatically.
Turn off the LapLink callback feature
If the remote computer requires or requests a callback be-
fore opening a modem connection, the agent cannot run. On
the remote computer, turn off the callback feature: Click the
Security button on the LinkBar. On the Log-in List tab, click
the name of the guest computer and then click Edit. Under
Modem Callback, click None.
Avoid moving or deleting agent files for which you have
created shortcut icons
If you have moved or deleted the Xchange Agent file, the
shortcut icon can no longer run the agent. Create the agent
again. You can reuse the shortcut icon by saving the new file
in the same location, with the same name, as the original file.
Or you can create a shortcut icon for the new agent file.
Create a filter to synchronize a single file
Xchange Agent always synchronizes by folder pairs, but you
can create a filter so that only one file within a folder pair is
synchronized. Open the agent in Xchange Agent and click
the folder pair. On the Edit menu, click Set Filter and then
click New. After typing a description for the filter, type the
complete name of the file, including its extension. (To add
more than one file name, type a semicolon and then the next
file name.) Click OK. Click the filter’s name in the Available
Filters list, and then click Add.
TIP Preview the agent to see if the correct files are included
in the synchronization.
