Preparing CSV file


You can download example file here. Or you can prepare the CSV file for your list of devices manually. The list must be comprised of devices LAN MAC addresses, Serial numbers (IMEIs for TRB) and Name columns. It must be saved in 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 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 device's LAN MAC address (or IMEI) and serial number separated by a comma (,) symbol. One line should contain one device entry. See an example in the Notepad editor below.
