Adding and Redirecting Multiple Phones Using a Comma-Separated Value (CSV) File
When you need to add a large number of phones to the RCS, you can add the phones to a spreadsheet file (i.e., using
Microsoft Excel
™ ), save it as a “*.CSV” file (comma-separated value file), AND have the RCS simultaneously redirect these
phones to the configuration server.
To add and redirect multiple phones to a configuration server using a *.csv file:
1. Open a new document using a spreadsheet application (i.e., Microsoft Excel ™ ).
2. In the first column, enter the MAC Address of the phone(s) you want to add to the RCS.
3. Save the file to your PC desktop using “Save As” in the format “.CSV” (commad delimited). In the above illustration,
the name of the CSV file is “Phones.csv”.
4. To check the validity of your CSV file, open the new file from a plain-text reading program (i.e., Notepad, TextEdit,
etc.). Make sure there are no extra commas, other than between fields.
5. Login to the RCS Web UI. (See “Logging into the RCS” on page 7 for more information.)
6. Click Phones on the top menu. The Phones page displays.
