Duplicating CallFinder Phonebook in Other CF Units
(Synchronization)
When CallFinder phonebooks within a system are “synchronized,”
all non-administrative listings are made to match. One CallFinder
unit (the
Primary
unit) holds the master list that is transmitted (using
the
Synchronize Phonebooks
command) to other CallFinder units
in the system (
Copy
units). CallFinder units can operate in same
system but have independent phonebooks, in which case they are
designated
Independent
.
Synchronizing phonebooks entails three steps:
1.
Designating one CallFinder as the master phone book
. In the
main
FFCF Manager
screen, right-click on the unit to be designated
as master, scroll to
Set Phone Book Sharing
, and select
Primary
.
2.
Designating all other CallFinder units participating in phonebook
sharing as
Copy
units
. In the main
FFCF Manager
screen, right-
click on each unit to share the master phonebook, and select
Copy
.
3.
Invoking synchronization
. In the main
FFCF Manager
screen,
open the
Edit
menu and select
Synchronize Phonebooks
. The
Synchronize Phone Books
screen will appear along with a series
of transient screens (denoting tftp data transfers) and confirmation
screens (where you click
OK
to proceed).
