Auto Discovery Monitor window.
The polling process takes a few minutes to complete. (The Auto Discovery Monitor will only detect
FF100, FF110, and FF200 units that have been restarted within the past 10 minutes. This limitation does
not apply to other FaxFinder units.) After a device has been detected you can add it to the group of
devices that the Device Manager software is serving by entering the appropriate Username and
Password for the discovered unit in the Device Manager’s
Add Device Address screen.
