Batch Add Guidance Terminals by IP Segment

If the guidance terminals you want to add to the platform are on the same subnet and share the same port, user name, and password, you can add them by specifying the start and end IP address, user name, password, etc.

1. On the top navigation bar, select > Basic Management > Device to enter the device management module.
2. Select Device and Server > Guidance Terminal on the left navigation pane.
3. Click Add to open the Add Guidance Terminal page.
4. Set Adding Mode to IP Segment.
5. Edit the device connection and login information.

   Device Address

   Start IP address and end IP address.

   User Name

   User name of the administrator account created when activating the device, or the added non-admin account such as operator account.

   Note:

   Your access to certain features might be restricted when using a non-admin account to add the device to the platform.

   Password

   Password of the account that you are logging in.

   CAUTION:

   The password strength of the device can be automatically checked. We highly recommend you change the password of your own choosing (using a minimum of 8 characters, including at least three kinds of following categories: upper case letters, lower case letters, numbers, and special characters) in order to increase the security of your product. And we recommend you change your password regularly, especially in the high security system, changing the password monthly or weekly can better protect your product.

   Proper configuration of all passwords and other security settings is the responsibility of the installer and/or end-user.

      If you select Create Area by Device Name, an area named after the guidance terminal will be created, and the resource(s) will be added to the area. If you select Existing Area, you need to select an existing area to add the resource(s) to, or you can click Add to add a new area. For details, refer to Add an Area for Current Site.
