Add a Device


WARNING

  • You must have the appropriate permissions to add a device to your company.
  • Support for the WebAccess/DMP platform is limited for the S1 Router version.

Note:
A device can connect to the WebAccess/DMP instance only if the WebAccess/DMP Client Router App is installed on the device. This application is typically pre-installed during manufacturing, so no manual installation is required in most cases. In most scenarios, simply adding the device to WebAccess/DMP is sufficient for it to connect.
If needed, see Install or Upgrade the WebAccess/DMP Client App.

  • User Requirements:
    You must have the appropriate permissions to add devices. See Permissions & Roles.

Rules

  • Both newly manufactured and previously removed devices can be added.
  • A device can belong to only one company at a time.
  • A company can remove a device it previously added.
  • A device must be added to a company before it can be managed or monitored.
  • A Free company can add up to five unique devices.

WARNING

Important: Once five devices have been successfully added, no additional devices can be added, even if some are later removed. The limit is based on the total number of successful Add Device operations, not on the current number of devices.
