No. It does not store any data. The link server just helps to connect the locations.

The HO and branch are directly connected.

 

3. How to check if it is working?

Try sending and receiving some data in order to check if it is working.

From the branch, you should be able to modify a master or run the compare data report.

From Head Office > Check task manager > Check if RanceLabLWOIP.exe is running

 

4. What needs to be done if it is not working?

Steps for HO

Check if RanceLab is started at HO server.

Task Manager > Check if RanceLabLWOIP.exe is running.
