checkbox to prevent this message from prompting again during this session. If you use a different computer or a different browser, this message will prompt again.
Enter the device credentials in the Tool.

The
Routers found
list displays the routers in your domain that have a password matching the one specified. The

lists display other devices, such as panels and computers registered to your domain that have a password matching the one specified.
NOTE: Using a password strategy that links password assignment to configuration stage can be an efficient way of provisioning devices in your environment. After configuration is complete, use unique passwords for each device.
