==Adding devices==
==Adding devices==
Adding a device is the main prerequisite to start using RMS. You can either add a device by manually entering the required name, serial, LAN MAC/IMEI and password or by adding devices from the file.
===Adding manually===
{{Template:rms_manual_management_device_submenu_add_device}}
===Adding from file===
'''From CSV File''':
----
#Select the '''From file''' tab.
#If needed, download the example CSV file from RMS (the file will change depending on the device series).
#Add your device information and prepare the file (see section Preparing CSV file for more details).
#Select the file type as '''CSV''', choose '''Company''', select '''Device series'''  and finally select your '''CSV file'''.
#You can select the new firmware version and upload a configuration file (The firmware upgrade and configuration upload will be set as pending actions. They will be executed after the devices successfully connect to RMS). Additionally, you can set a custom tag to the devices.
#When ready, click the '''Upload''' button. Keep in mind, adding more than a few hundred devices at once might take some time.
A pop-up indicating the number of new devices that have been added should appear on the screen:
[[File:RMS_devices_add_via_list_logs_v1.png|border|class=tlt-border]]
===Finishing adding process===
----
After you've added devices on the RMS web page, generally, they will connect to RMS by themselves. However, to speed up this process you can manually initiate a connection attempt from the device side. To do that:
#Connect to the WebUI
#Navigate to '''Services → Cloud solutions → RMS'''.
#Press '''<span style="color:#0455a4">Connect</span>''' to initiate the connection between the device and RMS.
[[File:RMS_device_connect_button_v1.png|border|class=tlt-border]]
*After a few moments you should see the state's status <span style="color:#6CAF8F">Connected</span>.
*Note: after a successful connection, the '''<span style="color:#0455a4">Connect</span>''' button will change to '''<span style="color:#0455a4">Reconnect</span>'''
===Preparing CSV file===
----
You can download an example file for '''RUT/TCR/TAP''' devices [https://rms.teltonika-networks.com/assets-static/demo_files/Add_device_list_example.csv from here] and for '''TRB''' devices [https://rms.teltonika-networks.com/assets-static/demo_files/Add_device_list_TRB_example.csv from here]. Or you can prepare the CSV file for your list of devices manually. The list must be have devices' '''LAN MAC''' addresses ('''IMEIs''' for TRB), '''Serial numbers''', '''Name''' and '''Password''' columns. You must save it as a '''CSV''' file. You can create/edit CSV files with programs like ''Microsoft Excel'', ''OpenOffice Calc'', or a simple text editor like ''Notepad++'', which we'll use for this example.
Create a new text file or download an example and set the order of device parameters in the first line. For example:
mac,serial,name,password_confirmation
Each entry should consist of the device's LAN MAC address (or IMEI), serial number, and password separated by '''commas''' (''','''). Each line should contain information about a single device (see example below).
[[File:RMS devices add devices example file v1.png|border|class=tlt-border]]
'''<span style="color:#0455a4"><big>Important!</big></span>'''
* Do not forget to save your file as '''*.csv'''.
* If you are editing the file with ''Notepad++''. Click the "Save As" option. Then next to "Save as type", choose "All types" and add the '''.csv''' extension next to the file name.
* If you're using Linux, you can add the same extension to the file name after saving the file the regular way.
==View pending updates==
If there are any devices with the '''Pending''' status (<span style="color:#E68934">⬤</span>) you can check any pending tasks by pressing the Actions button, selecting Management, and pressing '''View pending tasks'''. There you'll be able to select any pending tasks on devices and cancel them.
[[File:RMS_devices_view_pending_tasks_window_v1.png|border|class=tlt-border|500px]]
==Page settings==
Here, you can:
*Change the order of the table and toggle on/off the table's columns.
*Change table presets, and make a custom one.
*Toggle on/off various charts, that you see on the top of the Devices page.
[[File:RMS_device_view_page_settings_v2.png|border|class=tlt-border]]
==Toggle devices map==
Here, you'll be able to view the devices' current location (either has to be set manually or have GPS enabled). You can also select any device by clicking on its pointer, or doing an area select.
===Selecting multiple devices===
To do an area selection:
#Click on the '''<span style="color:#0455a4">Select device(s)</span>''' button.
#Select the devices by dragging an area on the map.
#Selected devices will have white pointers.
[[File:RMS_devices_GPS_area_select_v2.png|border|class=tlt-border|1450px]]
*You can unselect devices by pressing '''<span style="color:#0455a4">Unselect</span>'''
*Toggle device table. If devices are selected on the map, they will also be selected in the device table.
===Selecting a single device===
*You can also select a single device by clicking on its pointer. This will open a small overview of the device, from there you can view device details, and access its WebUI or CLI.
[[File:RMS_devices_GPS_single_select_overview_v1.png|border|class=tlt-border|314px]]
==Device details==
By clicking on the Device details icon in the actions column you'll be redirected to [[RMS Device Details|'''Device Details''']].
