After Installation your MirrorMaster should be functional and working.

As a Master:

If your MirrorMaster will service other MirrorMasters, it is considered a Master and it's master service will be used and be available to others to connect to. You should:

1.	Create a new Project and set the root directory of it.

2.	You can then commence with adding some In and Out flows to it and assign the flows' responsibility to client MirrorMasters.

NOTES:

•	Flows can only be assigned to MirrorMaster clients which already connected to you at least once.

•	Remote client MirrorMasters will only see Projects and physically replicate files of projects which contains at least one flow which is assigned to them.

•	Client MirrorMasters will require 4 things of you before they will be able to connect and subsequently replicate any of your projects (all of which can be obtained from your root folder's properties):

GUID

Username

Password

URL

This is really all there is to it. The clients will connect, and start replicating files conforming to the project flows' various criteria.

As a Client:

This means your MirrorMaster will initiate connections to remote MirrorMasters and automatically add projects and flows assigned to you to your folder structure and then commence with the actual comparison and replication of files. You should:

1.	Add a new MirrorMaster to your Mirrors folder

2.	Setup it's properties with the authentication details of the remote MirrorMaster

3.	Replicate once

4.	Set the received projects' root directories

5.	Replicate again

NOTES:

•	You will receive no flows or be able to replicate any files until you have specified a root directory for the newly added projects.

•	To slowdown your Mirror client's session, increase the Delay property of the root folder of your MirrorMaster

WARNING:

Do not point a project root directory to a pre-existing directory containing files which has nothing to do with the project. Your MirrorMaster will see these files as superfluous and delete all of the files which has no matching file at the Master MirrorMaster. Likewise, if the project directory does not contain any files and the remote MirrorMaster has In Flows assigned to you, your MirrorMaster will effectively tell the remote MirrorMaster to delete the files adhering to the In Flow's definition.
