Template:Rms manual fota add device list
The Add device list function is used to add RUT devices to your FOTA device table from a compiled list.
- First, you must compile a list of your devices. The list must be comprised of devices' serial numbers and LAN MAC addresses and it must be stored in a CSV file. CSV is a simple file format used to store tabular data. You can create CSV files with programs like Microsoft's Excel or OpenOffice Calc or a simple Notepad type of program, which we'll be using for this example.
Create a new text file and list your devices. An entry for a single device should be comprised of the router's serial number and LAN MAC address separated by a comma (,) symbol. Different entries for different devices should be separated by line breaks:

- When you're done, do not save the file as is. Instead click 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 just add the same extension to the file name after saving the file the regular way):
