Add a Device


NOTES

  • You must have the Add Devices permission to add a device to a company. See User Roles.
  • A device can connect to WebAccess/DMP only if the WebAccess/DMP Client App is installed. It is typically pre-installed during manufacturing, so in most cases adding the device is sufficient for it to connect. If needed, see Install or Upgrade the Client App.
  • Support for the WebAccess/DMP platform is limited for the S1 Router models.

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.

Device limit for Free companies

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.
