		Chapter 7: Device Manager Operation
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.
