Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. FF240-IP Admin User Guide 56
Users Section
The FF240-IP Users section of the FF240-IP unit displays a list of all of the users that have been entered
or imported into the unit itself. With the exception of the default admin account, all users can be edited
or deleted as needed. Users are the definitions of people that have access to the FF240-IP for sending
faxes. Each user will have a list of Contacts that they use to send faxes. The user information is used gain
access to the FF240-IP to send a fax via the web interface Send Fax page or an external Web API client
such as the FF240-IP Client software.
It is important that each user of the FF240-IP is entered in to the unit so that their contact list is
populated. All contacts are stored in the FF240-IP unit and the Client software will retrieve this list when
the user installs the software. When a user adds or deletes a contact, it is done to the database of the
FF240-IP unit, as it is the only place where this information is kept. Users of the FF240-IP system should
log in to the unit and add to their Contact list manually (the Add link) or automatically (the Import link).
When importing a contact list, the user can choose to overwrite any existing information, or simply add
the new information (the ‘Merge’ option).
