Cloning the Fax Business Controller
50 - Fax Business Controller
Multiple Controllers can be programmed to operate identically by using a method called
"Cloning". One Controller is programmed (referred to as the Master) and then connected
to a second Controller that you wish to program, using a standard RJ11 cable (8380-036).
The Cloning method can only be used with Controllers of the same Revision.
The illustration below explains the configuration that is needed to use the Cloning feature.

Verify that the LED on the Master FBC is flashing green. The flashing green LED
indicates that the Master FBC is in Clone Master Mode.
•
Connect the line marked "LINE OUT" on the Master FBC to the line marked
"FAX" of the Slave FBC with the RJ11 cable. The line marked "LINE OUT" on
the Slave FBC must be open.
•
Power up the Slave FBC.
•
Verify that the LED on the Slave FBC is flashing green.
•
Wait approximately 5 minutes for the cloning process to complete.
•
When the clone is complete, the Slave FBC LED will turn solid red and the Master
FBC will flash green. If the clone failed, then the Slave FBC LED will turn solid
red and the Master FBC will flash red. To retry a failed cloning attempt, simply
power down the Slave FBC, and then reapply power to the unit.
•
Another cloning session may be started once the Slave FBC LED is solid red.
Remove the Slave FBC that was successfully cloned, and replace it with a new
Slave FBC. This process may be continued as many times as desired.
•
The only way that the Master FBC can exit Clone Master Mode is to power down
the unit.
