Edit Menu Command Description
Synchronize Phonebooks Transfers phonebook data from a Primary
FaxFinder unit to all FaxFinders designated
as Copy units. The phonebook sharing
statuses of the FaxFinders (Primary, Copy,
or Independent) involved must be set in
advance. That is, one FaxFinder must be
set as the Primary unit. One or more other
FaxFinders must be set as Copy units
designated to accept phonebook data from
that particular Primary FaxFinder.
Independent FaxFinders may be in the
system but they do not participate in
phonebook sharing. This synchronization
also applies to CallFinder phonebooks and
Multi-Access user lists.
During synchronization, administrative
phonebook parameters are not copied. In
this way, the Copy units retain their entries
for Unassigned Number, Administrator
Password, and other parameters that must
remain unique to each FaxFinder unit (or
other device).
When the Synchronize Phonebooks
command is invoked, the Primary unit
copies its phonebook data into each Copy
unit, one at a time, in sequence until all
Copy units have received the data. Control
screens appear before each Copy unit
receives its download and the download
can be canceled for any particular Copy
unit.

address, User Name, and Password of

Access units) to be included in your system.

devices (FaxFinders, CallFinders, or Multi-
Access units) on the network.o
