How to register a list of systems?

ALMS supports registering multiple devices at the same time as a bulk upload operation, using a CSV file. You can register different router models running different operating systems in the same bulk upload operation.

For example, your CSV bulk registration file can contain data for a mixture of different AirLink routers such as:

• XR90 running AirLink OS
• RX55 running AirLink OS
• MP70 running ALEOS
• LX60 running ALEOS

To register multiple systems from a file:

1. From the Register page, click Import a list. The Import Systems window appears.

   

2. From the Import Systems window, select Download template.

3. Populate the downloaded CSV file with the information for all the devices that you want to register.

   • For more information on how to fill out the CSV file, please review the table below. You may need to leave certain fields in the template empty, depending on which router models you are registering. For example, routers running AirLink OS like the AirLink XR90 do not require data in the GATEWAY[IMEI] field, while an router running ALEOS such as an AirLink RV55 does not require the GATEWAY[REGISTRATION CODE] field to be completed.

4. Click Select a CSV and select the file you just populated for bulk system import.

   There may be a slight delay while ALMS validates the file. Notifications will appear if the file contains any errors, such as invalid serial numbers or missing registration codes.

   

5. Click Send email notification when operation completed if you want to be notified by email when the import is completed.

6. Select Activate Devices (default) to activate all devices on registration.

7. Select whether to preconfigure the device after clicking Register. To simplify your deployment, you can pre-designate the configuration you want ALMS to apply when it connects the first time. For more information, see How to register systems with an initial configuration? This option is not available when registering different router models using a bulk registration CSV file.

8. Select the Offers you want to activate the devices on.

   The offers that appear depend on which router models are included in the bulk registration file. Some routers may only support a single offer, and you cannot select an offer for those routers.

9. Click Import.

   ALMS launches separate register operations for each router you want to register. You can monitor the operations to confirm when registration is complete. See How to use Operations for more information.

Bulk Registration CSV file format

The file format is a .csv file (comma separated text file). Both comma ‘,’ and semi-colon ‘;’ are supported as separators.
