 Device IP—IP address of the device. If the nas-ip command is configured on the device at the

CLI, the imported device IP must be the same as what is configured on the device. If the nas-ip

command is not configured on the device at the CLI, the imported device IP must be the same

as the IP address of the interface that connects the device to TAM. This field must be imported

from the file to be imported. You must select column n as the device IP.

this line fails to be imported. Select Not Import from File to manually select the same device

area for all imported devices. To select a device area, click the Device Area icon . The Select

Device Area window appears. Select one or multiple device areas and click OK. To delete a

device area, click . Device area is an important part of an authorization scenario. For more
