If you need to update the Point of Service images stored on the Branch Server, you can
run possyncimages.pl to manually trigger the RSYNC update process and
download new image files from the Administration Server. For more information, see
Section B.3.9, "possyncimages.pl" (page 217).

"posldap2crconfig.pl" (page 212).
