Use a CSV file to Import Devices

To quickly and easily add your devices, consider importing your devices in a comma separated value (CSV) file. You can use the CSV import feature to add new devices in SIP or to update settings for devices that already exist.

We have made the import process easier by providing a CSV template for you to download and then fill in with your specific device information.

If you are adding new devices that you want to monitor for changes with Security Manager, make sure that you have configured those devices to communicate with Security Manager. Depending on your devices, this may require that you create a user name and password (in most cases, read-only) for the data collector.

To use the import feature, first create the CSV file. Then, import the file into the Administration module .

You can also use a CSV file to import management stations.
