The initial configuration steps show how to set up a single Sync Pipe from a directory server instance to a generic Sync Destination.

Before starting:

Place any third-party libraries in the <server-root>/lib/extensions folder.
Implement a server extension for any custom endpoints and place it in the appropriate directory.

If necessary, start PingDataSync:
```
$ bin/start-server
```
Run the create-sync-pipe-config tool.
```
$ bin/create-sync-pipe-config
```
At the Initial Synchronization Configuration Tool prompt, press Enter to continue.
On the Synchronization Mode menu, select the option for notification mode.
On the Synchronization Directory menu, enter the option to create a one-way Sync Pipe in notification mode from directory to a generic client application.
