A pair 
of interacting Kerr oscillators treated as a master
coupler sending chaotic or hyperchaotic signals to its slave copy
is considered. We synchronize
with 
and 
with 
through two
communication channels 
and 
.
The effect of synchronization is non-simultaneous, the pairs
and 
have different times of synchronization.
It is possible to synchronize an individual
pair, for example, 
when its communication channel
is turned off, provided that the second
channel for the pair 
is turned on. The resulted
synchronization is termed induced. The efficiencies of the
presented synchronization precesses are studied.
