Chapter 7: Device Manager Operation
Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. FaxFinder Admin User Guide 155
Device Manager “Edit” Menu 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 all POTS Modem Entries,
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.
Add Device Brings up the Add Device Address screen.
On this ‘Add’ screen, you enter the IP
address, User Name, and Password of
devices (FaxFinders, CallFinders, or Multi-
Access units) to be included in your system.
See “Adding Devices” procedure later in this
chapter.
Auto-Discover Devices This command initiates a search for relevant
devices (FaxFinders, CallFinders, or Multi-
Access units) on the network. It will only
detect FF100, FF110, and FF200 units that
have been restarted within the past 10
minutes. This limitation does not apply to
other FaxFinder units. This monitor allows
you to change username, password, and
IP-related characteristics of devices.
