- The devices should appear in the device table immediately, but at first they will be shown as offline (⬤).
- When the status circle turns (⬤), the system will have finished adding the device to RMS.
- The time it takes for the system to register all devices may vary depending on the number of devices and their internet connection quality.
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 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).
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 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.
RMS WebUI settings
Although Teltonika Networks devices have RMS service enabled by default, double-check whether the Connection type is set to Enabled on the device(s) that you are trying to add.
For example, for RUTX11, you can do that in the Services → Cloud Solutions → RMS WebUI page
