Users Section

The FF240-IP Users section of the FF240-IP unit displays a list of all of the users that have been entered or imported into the unit itself. With the exception of the default admin account, all users can be edited or deleted as needed. Users are the definitions of people that have access to the FF240-IP for sending faxes. Each user will have a list of Contacts that they use to send faxes. The user information is used gain access to the FF240-IP to send a fax via the web interface Send Fax page or an external Web API client such as the FF240-IP Client software.

It is important that each user of the FF240-IP is entered in to the unit so that their contact list is populated. All contacts are stored in the FF240-IP unit and the Client software will retrieve this list when the user installs the software. When a user adds or deletes a contact, it is done to the database of the FF240-IP unit, as it is the only place where this information is kept. Users of the FF240-IP system should log in to the unit and add to their Contact list manually (the Add link) or automatically (the Import link). When importing a contact list, the user can choose to overwrite any existing information, or simply add the new information (the ‘Merge’ option).

FaxFinder Users

This section will list all of the users added to the FF240-IP unit. Click on the Edit action item to see the Contact lists for individual users. Contact lists are the primary source for information when sending out faxes. The Phone, Fax and Organization fields will be used to populate the corresponding fields on the cover page.
