Adding Multiple Devices from a CSV File
You can add devices in bulk from a CSV file to AWMS. Here you also have the option of specifying vendor name
only, and AWMS will automatically determine the correct type while bringing up the device. If your CSV file
includes make and model information, AWMS will add the information provided in the CSV file as it did before.
It will not override what you have specified in this file in any way.
The CSV list must contain the following columns:
