Import from File / Import and Provision vs. Import Only
Click 'Import and Provision' to automatically provision modems with the
imported IP address, shelf and slot. Click 'Import Only' to import CO/CPE
modem database without provisioning the modems on the Site Manager.
The ’Import Only’ option is useful if you need to make changes to the
database (such as changing/adding IP addresses) before provisioning the
modems into the system Site Manager database.
