Adding devices

Adding a device is the main prerequisite to start using the RMS. You can either add device by manually entering the required Name, Serial, LAN MAC/IMEI and password or by adding devices from the file.

IMPORTANT: An added device must have already done a "First login", meaning the default password was changed after a successful login. This check will be done the first time a device with active RMS Service attempts a connection to RMS after being registered to an RMS company. After this validation, subsequent reconnects to RMS while the device is in the same company will not trigger any additional validations.

Instructions

Adding manually

1. Press + ADD Button.
2. Now select which way you'd like to add to devices: manually entering device details or adding them from the file.
3. Select the company to which devices will be added on.
4. Select the type of devices that will be added.
   1. RUT and TCR series devices will require a Serial number, LAN MAC address and the device's current password to be provided
   2. TRB series will ask for a Serial number, IMEI and the device's current password.
5. Enable service on the device immediately after adding it.

Adding from file

From CSV File:

---

1. Press + ADD Button.
2. Select add from file tab.
3. Download the demo CSV file (The demo file will change when changing series) on RMS.
4. Add your device information and prepare the CSV (see section Preparing CSV file for more details).
5. Select the file type as CSV file, choose Company, select Device series and finally select your CSV file.
6. When ready, click the Upload button. Keep in mind, adding more than a few hundred devices at once will take some time.

A pop-up indicating the number of new devices that have been added should appear on the screen:

Preparing CSV file

---

You can download an example file from here. Or you can prepare the CSV file for your list of devices manually. The list must be comprised of 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 and set the order of device parameters in the first line. For example:

mac,serial,name,password_confirmation

Single entry for single device consists 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).

Important!

• 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 Files" 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).

Actions using CSV files

CSV (Comma Separated Values) is a simple file format used to store tabular data. This file must contain a serial number / MAC address (both Serial number and MAC address can be used interchangeably but not simultaneously), and a parameter you're configuring, all separated by a separation symbol. Each device must be in a separate line.
