Discovering Devices from an Imported CSV File

Devices can be discovered by importing the necessary information from a comma separated value (CSV) file. The CSV file should list the following information: IP Address, Username, Password, Method (HTTP/HTTPS), and optionally Port Number. Use these steps to discover devices and add them to the Devices tab for management:

1. Navigate to the Devices tab at the top left of the menu.

2. Select Discover Devices from the Manage drop-down menu.

3. Select the interface to use to access the network from the Select An Interface drop-down menu. Each server has four ports, enabling it to be connected to four different networks.

4. Enter the Contact Interval to assign to the successfully discovered devices. This interval is the delay time (in seconds) between each attempt of the device to check-in with the server.

5. Select the CSV File tab.

6. Choose Browse to locate the CSV file.

7. Once the file is located, choose Open. The information in the selected file will be uploaded to the Discover Devices grid.

8. Select Start to begin the discovery process.

Once the devices are discovered, they will populate the Devices tab menu.
