Importing a Device List

Import a list of devices in a CSV file format to add multiple devices to Edge Manager.

About this task

The CSV must contain the following fields:

modelID
did
name
sharedSecret

Note: The device ID must follow these conventions:

Must be a minimum of 3 characters.
Must not exceed 63 characters.
Must start with an alphanumeric character (0-9 or a-z).
The remaining characters can be any combination of alphanumeric, underscore (_), or hyphen (-).
Do not use colons (:).
The Device ID is case-insensitive, but is always stored as lower-case. If you enter upper-case characters in Edge Manager, they are converted to lower-case.

Procedure

In the left navigation pane, select Device Manager > Devices.
Select Action > Import.
In the Select Group dialog box, choose the group to import the devices to, and click Next.
Navigate to the CSV file to import, then double-click.
The devices are imported into the selected group.
In the CSV Upload Status dialog box, click Close.
Refresh the device list to see the imported devices.
