Configure DataSync

Before users can access Nectari DataSync, the application must be configured and the product license registered. The first person to register becomes the initial administrator and defines the essential application and server settings. These steps ensure DataSync is ready for team use and secure operation.

Register to DataSync

1. Open your web browser and enter the server address you set during DataSync installation.
2. On the login page, click Register.
3. Enter your email, first name, and last name.
4. In the Serial Number field, enter your product license number and click Register.

After registration, the new user appears in the Users list and receives an activation email to set their password.

Activate the account

1. Click the activation link received by email.
2. On the password setup page, enter your password in both fields.
3. Click Set password.
4. Follow the link to log in to Nectari DataSync.

Set up DataSync

After your first login, you will be redirected to the Settings page (or select Settings from the welcome screen). Here, configure all necessary parameters for DataSync operation:

1. Review and edit the Connection Properties and SMTP Server panels—the wizard automatically imports settings you provided during installation.
2. Under Server URL, specify the URL to be included in email notifications.
3. In the Users panel, click Add User to add more users who will share the same license.
4. For each panel, click Save to confirm your changes.
