Connecting the Data Exchange Servers

1. To add a new DX member, from the Members dialog (see page 102), click

New. A message appears, asking if this member will participate in automated

data exchange. Click Yes. Once you confirm that you want to proceed with

the connection, the first Data Exchange Connection Builder dialog for the

union catalog appears:

Enter the IP address of the union

catalog's Data Exchange Server.
Select this option if you want the

application to remember this information

for the next DX member you add.

Enter the IP address of the union catalog's Data Exchange Server, and click

Connect.

2. The Data Exchange Connection Builder dialog for the member appears:

Enter the IP address of the member's

Data Exchange Server.
Note: If one Follett Data Exchange

Server supports both the union catalog

and the member, the IP address will be

the same for both.

Enter the IP address of the member's Data Exchange Server, and click

Connect.
