Message   Martin Foster    August Abolins   Winpoint: wanting multiple BossNodes and separate echo folders   March 23, 2019

Hello August!

Yes, that's correct.

I have "Toss to DUPES" but they're not dupes because they've been  
picked up from three different BossNodes.

Yeah, it's what's known as a "belt and braces" approach ;-))

You're missing something :-))

There are three stages to configuring this:

Stage 1
-------
- Extras/Options/Uplinks Tab.
- Click the Add button at the right-hand side in the Systems pane.
- Enter all the relevant information in each of the four Tabs(you       
  probably won't need to bother with the Fileliste Tab?).
- Once you've done all that, click the OK button.

You should now see a new "Mailbox" in the Systems pane.

Stage 2
-------
- Click the Add button at the right-hand side of the Fidostyle Uplinks  
  pane, which brings up the New Uplink Wizard.
- Click the Weiter button but be aware, everything's in German.
- Enter the relevant information on the page and then click the Weiter  
  button which takes you to the next page.
  NOTE: there are four pages in total and on the first three pages,     
  you can go back to the previous page by clicking the Zuruck button    
  but on the fourth page there's NO GOING BACK!
- When you get to the fourth page, click the Schliessen button.

You should now see a new entry in the Fidostyle Uplinks pane.

Stage 3
-------
- Make sure the new Uplink is highlighted in the Fidostyle Uplinks      
  pane and click the Properties button.
- On the Allgemeines Tab, click the down-arrow in the Mailbox field     
  and click the new Mailbox you configured in Stage 1.
- Check the settings on all the Tabs and edit any that may need         
  changing.

Job done! :-)

Regards,
Martin
