When a Pexip server is created, the following are also created:

* On the **Data Sync** menu: 
  
  * A pull sync instance of data sync with the name format: *SyncPexip_<Pexip server name>*.
  * A purge sync instance of data sync with the name format: *PurgePexip_<Pexip server name>*.
* On the **Scheduling** menu:
  
  * An inactive schedule instance with the name format: *SchedulePexip_<Pexip server name>*.

    When the schedule is set to be active, it executes the *SyncPexip_<Pexip server name>* pull data sync.


* To test the connection to the Pexip server, choose **Test Connection** action on the menu.
* To modify the server, select it and update the fields as needed.
* To delete the server, select it from the list and then select **Delete**.
