Discovering Network Devices
EPICenter Reference Guide

The buttons below the list of devices have the following functions:
NOTE
If you select multiple devices, make sure the devices you select have identical contact information. As part of the
Add process, you will be asked for a single password that applies to all the selected devices. If the password is
specified incorrectly for any of these devices, the add will fail for those devices.
When you click Add , a window appears where you must set additional device options such as a write
community string, the device group to which the devices should be added, a default device login,
password, and if SSH is used (see
Figure 21 ).
NOTE
Make sure the device passwords are correct for the selected devices. If you are adding multiple devices in one
operation, make sure the passwords you specify are correct for each device. A device cannot be added if the
password is not correct.
