### Parameters

* **Type of synchronization** *\<radiobox> -* Defines the type of synchronization that the user wants to execute. There are several options for this parameter: *File Transfer with KDriver Synchronization*, *Online (GWAY)*, *File Import/Export*.
  * **File Transfer with KDriver Synchronization** - Export/Import Database to/from text files and synchronizes them with Server via KDriver. This will make the following operations:
    1. Export the selected tables data into a text file and put it in the device's **ToPDA** folder.
    2. Send any file in the device's **ToPDA** folder to the server's **ToPDA** folder of this terminal.
    3. Wait for MIS Communicator to execute KDriver to send the data file to the database and generate a new data file to send to the device.
    4. Receive any file in the server's **ToPC** folder into the device's **ToPC** folder.
    5. Import data file from the **ToPC** folder into the local database.
  * **Online (GWAY)** *-* Synchronizes the Database with Server in online mode, via direct connection to the database with MIS Communicator.
  * **File Import/Export** - Only Import/Export Database to/from text files. This is equivalent to option FileTransfer with KDriver Synchronization without making any communication with the server, this is step 1 and 5.
