iOS does not follow these conventions exactly. iOS security works as follows:

• First 2 failed attempts: no delay.
• Next 3 attempts: 5 second delay.
• Next 3 attempts: 15 second delay.
• Next 3 attempts: 90 second delay.
• Subsequent attempts: 1.5 hours.

Except when Principalm sets the lockout minutes higher than the defaults. In this case the lockout minutes take precedence.

VMware Tool Settings must be set to “Autodetect” which gives your virtual machine its own ip address on the same network.

Bonjour Service can also be found here

To retrieve Recipient files via URL go to:

http://ip address:port

Example:
http://74.125.127.10:8080

All Recipient folders will be listed here. Choose your Recipient folder to access your dataset.

Secure web-servers are also supported if you have a secure web-server already set up such as IIS.

Then click the Start button to begin school data extracts with the recipient updates to follow

School Extract Run: data is being exported from the SIS to the “School Data” directory. If Manual Extract was selected, data is being copied from the Export Folder directory (set up under Sources) over to the School Data directory (C:\Users[user]\Documents\Discovery Software\School Data)

Recipient Run: data is being copied from the “School Data” directory then encrypted into the Destination directory to be retrieved by the recipient.

Discovery Update Service Run: checks that the parameters are correct and that the service is running. The Provider installed is responsible for updating the appropriate recipient.xml file

Local Folder Run: the encrypted dataset is being copied over to the Local Folder directory set under Destinations. The dataset can then be copied over to the application that will be using it

Status information for each of your installed products is also available here. View by Task, Last Run and Status

To generate diagnostic data click the “Generate PDI” button under Support. A compressed diagnostic folder containing a scrambled version of your data and the logs will be generated under C:\Users[user]\Documents\Discovery Software\Support send this zipped folder to Discovery Support for further troubleshooting.

If Discovery Update Service is selected a default data path will automatically be entered in. This is the directory to where the recipient(s) will retrieve their dataset(s). Wifi is required if Discovery Update Service is selected.

Network Settings: Port: 8080 will be entered in by default. If you do not use port 8080 change this port accordingly.

Support Information: When configured successfully, the ip address that the service will run on will be displayed. This is the ip address you will sync to. Click “Test” to test results.

If parameters are not set correctly, you may access the Services applet to confirm that “Discovery Update Service” was installed correctly.

The Services applet can be found by accessing:
Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services

Locate Discovery Update Service and check to see if the service has started. If not click Start service. To view properties, right click and choose Properties.

The “Path to executable”, this is the directory to the Discovery Update Service, the Port will be listed at the end of this path.

If wifi will not be used, select “Local Folder” then choose the directory to where the dataset will be sent.

If data will be transferred directly to a device, connect your device via USB then point the Data Path to a folder path on the device. You may also direct the Data Path to a local directory on your computer then use Drag and Drop method to copy the dataset files directly over to the device.

To schedule the updates to run automatically via Scheduled Task, check the box next to “Update destination dataset automatically”. If this machine is logged off or shut down at night, check the box next to “This computer is turned off at night” this will run the task at start up.

Dataset: Choose a dataset created from the Dataset tab

Name: Create a name for the recipient receiving this dataset (ie: “Security”)

Destination: Choose Discovery Update Service if data will be synced via wifi. Choose Folder Location if data will be updated from a local directory. You will be required to define these settings under the Destinations tab.

Principalm Configuration: Enter a password to be used with this recipient data, then re-enter to confirm.

Security Settings: Set handheld security settings:

• enter the minimum password length
• login attempts and which failed action to use
• Lockout minutes are used if failed action is suspended.

Data is used by: Choose a provider that will be using this dataset (ie; Principalm, Rubrix, Third-Party product)

Name: Create a name for this dataset or for the group of datasets that will be included (ie: “Principalm – Security” sees High School data).

Licensed Schools: Select the “Licensed School(s)” to be included in this dataset (ie: High School)

Data Used: Check the data that is to be used with this dataset. Uncheck the data to filter it (ie: High School Security may not want to see Student Medical so uncheck “Student Medical” in this group of data).

Repeat steps and customize for all datasets added.If you only have one licensed school you could repeat these steps by customizing filters only.

Click TEST to test Dataset parameters.

Identified By: select the method used to identify your photos. Choose from:

• Student Number – student number identifies the photos, this is most common.
• Photo ID – Photo ID number that has been exported from your admin system under the StdPhotoID column header.
• State ID – State ID number that identifies the photos
• Index File: An index file is used to map the photo file name to the ID# assigned to your students/staff. Do not use this file if photos do not need mapping.

Click TEST to test settings.
