Alternative Method for Setting Desired IP Parameters on FaxFinder Server

If the FaxFinder Server is on the same subnet as the Administration PC, you can set its IP parameters using the Multi-Tech Device Manager’s Auto-Discovery function (see Chapter 8 concerning installation of the Device Manager software).

In Device Manager, go to Edit Auto-Discover Devices. The Auto Discovery Monitor dialog box will appear.
