4. From the Connection tab, you specify the member's connection type:

Currently, a fullĆtime connection to the union

catalog (i.e., a LAN or a WAN) is the only

supported connection type.

5. To save your settings, click Save. A message appears, asking if you want to

reload the data from the member. If you've just added the member, click Yes.

Note:

If you're editing a member's connection, we recommend reloading the

data if you changed the participation level or filters.

Once the DX member's information has loaded, you can view (but not edit) their

site and cataloging information. From the Members dialog (see page 102), select

the DX member, and click View. Any changes the member makes to this

information will be reflected at the union catalog. For information on the site and

cataloging information, see page 103.
To obtain a brief summary of the DX information, generate a System Information

Report at the union. For the union catalog, it lists the number of DX records in the

transfer queue, the database ID, the retry time, and the IP address of the union

catalog's Data Exchange Server. In the Member Information section are the full

site name, MOC, member ID, the member's Data Exchange Server IP address,

participation levels, and filters of each DX member. The information for each

non-DX member is limited to the full site name, MOC, and member ID. For more

information about this report, see page 581.
If you're building your union catalog, repeat these steps (starting with

Connecting the Data Exchange servers" on page 107) for each DX member in

your union catalog. Once all your members have been added to the union

catalog, see What's next?" on page 112.
