Features/Sharing Journal Entries Via School Server

Basic Usage

• This feature helps share Journal/Documents/Mounted-Drives' entries across XOs, via the following two mechanisms ::
  • Peer-to-Peer mode
    • Sharing in this mode is possible, only when the server and client XO(s) are on the same networks. Thus, peer-to-peer sharing would work on
      • XOs connected to the same Access Point.
      • Adhoc-Network connections.
  • Via School-Server
    • In this mode, an XO uploads an entry to the central School Server; from where the client XO(s) may download the entry.
    • This mode of sharing works as long as the School-Server is HTTP-pingable between the server and client XOs. Thus, this mode of sharing would work when
      • XOs are connected to the same Access Point (as long as school-server is pingable throughout).
      • XOs are connected to the different Access Points (as long as school-server is pingable throughout).
      • XOs are conencted to Adhoc-Network (as long as school-server is pingable throughout).
