Import Devices from an OmniVista Cirrus CSV File
The Device List screen displays a list of devices that are known to an organization site. The list will be empty if no devices have been added to the site. There are three methods for adding a device to a site: import an OmniVista CSV file, import an Excel XLSX file, or manually add a device.
To import devices from an existing OmniVista .csv file, click on Import from… and select OmniVista CSV file. An “Import from OmniVista CSV file” form will open on which you will complete the fields as described below to configure multiple devices to upload to the Device Catalog.
Step 1: Download CSV template
Download the CSV template file and add device information based on the template instructions.
Consider the following when importing devices from an OmniVista CSV file:
If the serial number for a device defined in the import file matches the serial number of a device already known in the Device Catalog, then OmniVista Cirrus imports the serial number and overwrites the device details with the template device details.
Step 2: Import the edited file and select the site of attachment
Complete the following fields to import the devices listed in the CSV file.
File Browser - Click in this field to find and select the existing CSV file to import.
Site Assignment - Click in this field to display a list of Organization Sites and select the Site to which the devices defined in the CSV file will be imported.
Group Assignment - Click on this field to select the Access Point Group to which the AP devices will be assigned. The provisioning configuration associated with this group will be applied to the imported devices.
If the Access Point Group is associated with more SSIDs than the AP model can support, then you cannot add the AP to the group.
Click on Import. The Device Catalog list for the site is populated with the imported devices.
