You can import a device list from Data Center Expert or another source to easily discover devices in EcoStruxure IT Gateway 1.8 and newer.

Note: Gateway versions older than 1.15 do not allow discovery of SNMPv3 devices with the Authentication Passphrase and Privacy Passphrase set to None.

Note: APC NMC 4 (AP9644) devices are not yet supported.

File format IP addresses to discover must be in a single column. For Modbus, IP addresses in one column and Server addresses in a second column for multiple Modbus devices of the same type, vendor, and family. The columns do not need to be in any specific order. Any extra columns are ignored. The first row can optionally be a header row describing the contents of each column. A header row is not required. The file extension must be .csv, .tsv, .txt The column delimiter must one of the following: colon, comma, tab, pipe, semi-colon, space. The character encoding on the file must be UTF-8.

Example IP address 192.168.1.12 192.168.1.25 192.168.1.32 192.168.1.42
