Set Local User Sharing
Local user sharing must be set up per unit before local user data bases can be synchronized. When
MultiAccess ACS local users are synchronized, all data bases contain the same user crentials except for
the administrator accounts. One MultiAccess ACS unit (the Primary unit) holds the master list that is
transmitted (using the Synchronize Phonebooks/Local Users command) to other MultiAccess ACS
units on the network (Copy units). MultiAccess ACS units can operate on the same network, but have
independent local user data bases, in which case they are designated Independent.
Designating one MultiAccess ACS as the master local user data base. In the main Device Manager
screen, right-click on the unit to be designated as master, scroll to set local user sharing, and select
Primary.
Designating all other MultiAccess ACS units participating in local user sharing as Copy units. In the
main Device Manager screen, right-click on each unit to share the master local user data base, and
select Copy.
Designating a MultiAccess ACS as independent. In the main Device Manager screen, right-click on
the unit to be designated as master, scroll to set local user sharing, and select Independent.
