Manual input of device data

If an IP device is not shown in the search results (because it is located on a different subnet or the connection with it is temporarily lost), you can add it manually. To do this, you need to select the type of IP device to be added, specify the IP address and connection port of the device, and select the manufacturer vendor and model in the area with a neutral background located under the list with automatic search results.

You can also specify the manufacturer vendor and model of the device using the search in the input field.
