Configuration - General
Set the port and password for your XTSyncServer in the tab "General". In order to connect to your database through the internet, you need to open the port to the SyncServer. In order to do so automatically, you can use the button "Open router port" in the configuration. To use this function UPnP must be activated in the router. Please note, that if UPnP is not activated, error messages like "Interface not available" might pop up. In this case you need to open the port manually in your router, using "Port Forwarding". Please refer to your router manual.
If you uncheck the box "Use SyncServer Login", you don't need to login with a username and password (for testing purposes). Even if this option is available, we strongly suggest to use username and password at any time.
If you are trying to connect through a Proxy server, this will only work if it's an inhouse proxy. A connection through a web-proxy is not possible.
In order to test your connection, choose your external IP address in the IP dropdown field, with which you connect to your server from outside your LAN. This way you can double-check if your router connects correctly through the XTSyncServer to your server and your database, not getting stopped by the firewall.
Database Connection
Point to the tab "Database" in order to connect the database with your XTSyncServer. Use the wizard to create the connectionstring. Please note, that a connection to a SQL server must be made with Username and Passwort. The Windows-Authentification mode will not work.
Test the connection, to make sure you are connected to the database.
IP-Addresses
In case you want to allow certain IP Adresses to access the SyncServer only, you need to enter their IP addresses in this dialog. Wildcards like "*" or "?" are supported.
e.g. 192.168.110.1 or 192.168.1.*
