What happens in the sending station

In a sending station, user prototypes are important only in name. This is where you duplicate the default prototype and rename each duplicate uniquely. No users use these property values—whether a user is local only to the Supervisor or specified as a network user with a Prototype Name.

This is what happens on the sending side:

1. All user device extensions with Sync Out Enabled equal to true receive notification that a user event has occurred. This sets Sync Required equal to true in each user device extension.

2. The Sync Delay property determines how long to wait between a user event and a synchronization event. Each event resets the delay. That allows multiple changes to be made without necessarily requiring multiple synchronization processes.

3. After the sync delay passes, the Supervisor initiates the synchronization process with the subordinate station.

4. When complete, it sets Sync Required back to false and updates the synchronization timestamps.
