Appendix A – Device Manager Utility
Synchronize Phonebooks/Local Users
When the MultiAccess Local Users data bases are synchronized, all non-administrative listings match.
One MultiAccess unit (primary unit) holds the master data base that is transmitted to other remote units
on the network (copy units). MultiAccess units can operate on the network, but have independent Local
Users, in which case they are designated as Independent. Independent units are ignored during
synchronization.
1. Invoking synchronization. Click on the Edit menu and select Synchronize Phonebooks/local
users.
2.
The Synchronize Phone Books screen will appear along with a series of transient screens
(denoting tftp data transfers) and confirmation screens.
3. After the master local users data is transferred to the first Copy MultiAccess unit and that unit has
been rebooted, the Device Manager will automatically begin synchronizing the additional Copy
MultiAccess unit in the system (if any) until all have been synchronized.
