Add Device Manually

Operation Reference > Initial Configuration > Add Device Manually

When a device was not found by the auto discovery, you can manually add it by taking the following steps.
"Add Device" page lets you add a device.
You can go to "Add Device" page from "Network Tree" menu or "Device List" menu.

Note
When the monitored device is registered, if it fails to communicate with the SNMP plug-in, the trend graphs will not be updated. When registering a monitored device, please make sure that it can communicate properly before deleting or adding the device.

◼ From Network Tree

Select "Network Tree" from the menu.
"Device Tree View" screen will appear.
Click "Network" in the Tree View to expand the tree.
Subnets under the "Network" will be displayed.
Click a subnet to expand the subtree.
Devices under the subnet will be displayed.
The Node Attribute section on the right side of the Content section shows the selected subnet's name and other information.
Click Gear icon at the top right of the Tree View.
A context menu for the selected node will appear.
When a subnet is being selected, "Add Device" menu item is displayed in the context menu.
Select "Add Device" from the menu.
Add Device page will appear.

◼ From Device List

Select "Device List" from the menu.
"Device List" page will appear.
Click "Create New" button at the top.
Add Device page will appear.

Add Device Manually

Go to Add Device page.
Select a subnet to which you want to add a device.
You have to create a subnet in advance.
Add Subnet and Subnet List links under the "Subnet Name" dropdown list let you add or edit subnets. Create a new subnet or edit an existing one as required before proceeding.

Note
When you move to other pages, data you have entered on this page will be lost.
After creating or editing a subnet, start from step 1 again.
Specify a SNMP parameter to retrieve the device information.
- SNMP Parameter Name(Get):
  Select a Get Parameter Name used to get information from the device via SNMP.
- SNMP Parameter Name(Set):
  Select a Set Parameter Name used to set information to the device via SNMP.
"SNMP Parameter List" link under the SNMP Parameter Name(Set) dropdown list lets you move to SNMP Parameter List page where you can create, edit and delete SNMP Parameters. Create or edit SNMP parameters as needed.

Note
When you move to other pages, data you have input on this page will be lost.
After creating or editing SNMP Parameters, start from step 1 again.
Enter an administrative name, a hostname, a comment, an IPv4 address and a subnet mask of the device to add.
- Name:
  Enter an administrative name of the device. Should be 1 to 255 characters in length, with alphabets, numbers and symbols (space " % , - < > ^ _ ` { | } ~ can be used).
- Hostname:
  Enter a hostname of the device. You can use an arbitrary string.
- IPv4 Address:
  Enter an IPv4 address (e.g. 192.168.1.123) of the device.
- Subnet mask:
  Enter a subnet mask (e.g. 255.255.255.0) of the device.
- Monitoring Interval:
  Specify the polling interval for the device.
  - When you set it to "Auto Detect", the plug-in determines an appropriate interval according to the device level of the device model name.
  - When you select "Input", input a value under 31622400 (seconds).
Click "Add New".
"Device Tree View" screen will appear.
Once the device has been successfully added, it will be displayed under the parent subnet.

Note
When you add a device manually, there may be a case that its MAC address, IPv4 address and vendor name are not displayed on Device List page. In this case, delete the device and perform Auto Discovery on the target subnet. It may solve the issue and you would be able to see the information.
