2. Click the Align button.
The SiPass configuration data is transferred over the network to Composer.

(Fig. 7).

3. While the connection with SiPass stays active, any modification in the SiPass
configuration is detected by Composer. If the configuration status shows "system
not aligned" again, it means that a new import is necessary: just press the button
Align as described above. The modified objects will be imported without affecting
the remaining part of the structure.
Importing the SiPass configuration: off-line mode
If the SiPass server cannot be directly connected to the PC running Composer, an
off-line mode is available. On the SiPass server, you need to run the utility program
SiPass Export Tool, available on the MM8000/MK8000 CD, and create an export
file (there is no need to install the entire MM8000 or MK8000 on the SiPass
server).
The SiPass Export Tool can create an XML file containing the SiPass configura-
tion, which can then be imported into Composer. The Fig. 8shows the simple utility
interface: you just need to indicate the SiPass IP address or name (the default
value 127.0.0.1 is valid if running locally on the server) and the export file name,
then click Create file to proceed.
