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.

If the device's IP address, Port, Manufacturer Vendor, Username and Password are set, the device model can be automatically detected by clicking the button.

Adding devices to the configuration

To add an IP device to a configuration:

...

• select a mode for adding the device to the configuration

...

• ;
• specify the device settings, if necessary;
• the device is added to the configuration.

Modes for adding devices to the configuration

Three modes are available for adding a device to a configuration. These are described in the following table.

Configuring IP device settings

When adding a device, you can immediately set several configuration options, such as:

...

• vendor and model.

Adding devices

During a single configuration change, you can add a single device or all devices listed in the search results (other than devices for which compatibility is not guaranteed). To add one device, click the  button. To add all devices, click the Add all button.
