Synchronizing GridSoftToken with the GridGuard Server

Periodically, it might be required to synchronize the device with the GridGuard server, if either the server clock or the device clock goes out of synch. To synchronize the device, click on the Synchronize button. The app will automatically contact the server and synchronize clocks.

Note: Clock synchronization does not involve changing the clock time on either the server or the client. It is purely a caliberation check that determines the offset so that the app is aware of the difference.
