Click the [Update] button to start importing the data.

[Host Name:]

Specify the path required for authentication as well as the host name of the server to be accessed.

E.g.:

\\Host name

\\IP address\shared folder name

[File Path:]

Enter the path for the file to be imported.

[User Name:]/[Password:]

Enter the user name and password for logging in to the computer where the file to be imported is stored.

[File Update Confirmation Interval:]

You can also specify the interval (in minutes) for checking for files to be imported.

NOTE

If data cannot be imported at the specified time due to the machine being turned off or fully in sleep mode, the data is imported and applied once the machine recovers.

[Import Method:]

Select whether to import all the user data or only the user data that is different.

NOTE

If you selected [Perform full import] and there is already a registered user with the same user name, the imported user data overwrites the existing data.

To import a user with SMB access to an Advanced Box, specify an appropriate value in the "password" column. When you directly import unmodified data that was exported from this machine, authentication may fail. (The value for exporting is "********".)

When you perform a full import, users not listed in the import file are deleted from this machine. However, the default "-----" and "Administrator" users registered at the time of shipment are retained even if omitted from the import file.

Only the "User Authentication" file format is supported. In addition, the "uid" column is mandatory.

Caution is advised when using a server that does not support SMB v.3.0 encrypted communication, as imported user data will be sent as plain (unencrypted) text.

Click [Connection Test], check that a connection can be made, and then click [Update].
