Device Manager > Main Screen
To launch the Device Manager program from the Windows desktop, go to Start | Programs | Multi-Tech
Device Manager | Multi-Tech Device Manager.
The Device Manager’s main screen lists the devices (FaxFinders, CallFinders, or Multi-Access units) that
are working together as a system. In a FaxFinder system, for example, the system generally can consist
of one CallFinder functioning as a master or server unit (designated as Primary) and one or more
CallFinders functioning as client or slave units (designated as Copy). CallFinder units functioning without
reliance on a server unit (designated as Independent) can also be part of the system. The Device
Manager is in contact with all the units of its system through the Ethernet network to which all are
connected.
