The next step is to change the Point Central security key. This will prevent users from accessing the Point Central server and interrupting the synchronization process.

Important: Please write down the exact security key before changing it because you will need to put the security key back to what it was originally after the synchronization has completed.

Please do not forget to navigate back to Configuration > Parameters > and update the Security Key back to what it was initially.
