Currently, TracerPlus Connect does not support USB syncing of data when using Android, iOS, and Windows 10 devices & tablets. Some organizations are not permitted to use WiFi or they do not have access to WiFi but still need to sync their data. There is a solution for these use cases by taking advantage of Ethernet syncing.
In this article, we will discuss Ethernet cable/cradle syncing, why you might find it helpful, and devices that support it.
The Ethernet cable is a helpful tool that allows you to sync to a PC/Server on your network. This bypasses any limitations such as not having WiFi, or otherwise being unable to use WiFi to sync via a network connection.
The main advantage of Ethernet syncing is being able to sync easily, with only a cable or in some cases a cradle, and not having to deal with the hassle of a wireless connection. So in any situation where you do not have WiFi, Ethernet syncing is certainly a feature you should consider. This can also be used for Deploying TracerPlus Desktop projects instead of using MTP over USB which can be unreliable.
To help determine if your device supports Ethernet syncing, we have tested several devices using the device manufacturer's cradles or add on USB to Ethernet adapter cables courtesy of Portsmith Technologies.
We have found that most devices released in the past few years are capable of connecting via Ethernet. If you have any questions or concerns about using your device with TracerPlus over an Ethernet Connection, feel free to create a ticket.
Note: Ethernet cradles and adapters MUST be connected to the network your PC is on and cannot be directly connected to the PC.
