This article provides a guide on how to pre-upload Computers to 911Cellular Portal
Pre-populating computers to the 911Cellular Portal ensures that computers that are connected via ethernet do not get a location prompt upon deployment of the Computer Panic Button. Both computers on Ethernet and WiFi can be preuploaded using the template, however only the computers on Ethernet will not get a location prompt. For Computers on WiFi, location will be determined by the strongest Access Point.
Getting Started
- Go to Manage Devices → Computer Panic Buttons
- Click on “Upload”
- Download and open template
- Delete Row 2 and populate the required columns: Computer Name, First Known Ethernet Zone and Plaque/Room Number
*First Known Ethernet Zone should match exactly with the zone hierarchy from the topmost zone to the exact zone where the computer is located, separating each zone with a pipe “ | ”. - Drag completed templated, or click on any area within the dotted box to upload csv file from your computer
- Click on “Upload” to upload machines
If you run into any error during upload, verify that the security zones are correct and there are no missing fields in the required column. If issue still persists, please reach out to our support team at Support Team for assistance.
Other methods of uploading Computers include using API. Here’s a link to our API documentation see “Create Machine”
