Template:Rms manual management device submenu add device list
The Add device list function is used to add multiple RUT devices to your device table at once.
- To add multiple devices at once you must first 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 (,). Different entries should be separated by line breaks:
- When you're done, don't 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):
- Once you have the list file in order, scroll your mouse pointer to the Device submenu (found in Management → Device) in the RMS web page and click Add device list:
- In the pop-up box select the desired profile, upload the list file and click "Add device list":
- A new pop-up box signifying the number of new devices that have been added should appear. You can close it:
- The devices should appear in the device table immediately, but at first they will be offline. When the power button symbol turns green next to each device, then the system will have finished connecting all devices to RMS:
NOTE: the time that it takes for all devices to be registered on the system may vary depending on the number of devices.
