Synchronizing Phonebooks
As noted earlier, this command applies to FaxFinders, CallFinders, and to MA100 Multi-Access units.
The steps of the procedure are described below using a FaxFinder as an example device.
When FaxFinder phonebooks are synchronized, all non-administrative listings match. One FaxFinder unit
(the
Primary
unit) holds the master list that is transmitted (using the
Synchronize Phonebooks
command) to other FaxFinder units in the system (
Copy
units). FaxFinder 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 FaxFinder as the master phone book
. In the main
Device 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 FaxFinder units participating in phonebook sharing as
Copy
units
. In the main
Device Manager
screen, right-click on each unit to share the master phonebook, and select
Copy
.
