# Adding Routers to icom Router Management

## Scope and Purpose

This guide outlines the procedure for integrating routers based on icom OS into your icom Router Management account. It supports both:

- Single device addition for isolated or initial setups
- Bulk device onboarding for fleet rollouts

> [!NOTE]
> Compatible Routers
> 
> Please be aware that only icom OS routers can be managed by icom Router Management. Routers running on INSYS OS are not supported.

---

## Prerequisites

- Access to an active icom Router Management account
- Routers with [icom OS](/kb/docs/icom-os-routers-en) firmware
- Router serial number (s)
- Stable Internet connection for each router
- Administrative access to the router’s web interface
- Optional: router group(s) already defined in icom Router Management for logical structuring

## Adding a Single Router

### Step 1: Add the Router in icom Router Management

1. Log in to [icom Router Management](https://console.insys-tec.net/).
2. Navigate to **Inventory → Routers**
3. Click on the **Add** button. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/c690fe99-a3eb-474c-a449-c2c75e5df119/Images/Documentation/Router Import Step 1.png)
4. Provide:
  - Router Name (descriptive)
  - Serial Number (visible on router label or in the Web UI of the router: `Status` → `Dashboard`)
  - Optional: Location
  - Router Group (select an existing group) ![](https://cdn.document360.io/c690fe99-a3eb-474c-a449-c2c75e5df119/Images/Documentation/Router Import Step 2.png)
5. Click Add to register the device.

### Step 2: Download Start Configuration

1. Use the **Download** button in the top right to download the router’s individual start configuration. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/c690fe99-a3eb-474c-a449-c2c75e5df119/Images/Documentation/Router Import Step 3.png)

### Step 3: Upload Configuration to Router

> [!NOTE]
> Ensure Internet connection!
> 
> The router must have Internet connection to be able to connect to the **icom Router Management**. The easiest way to establish it is using the ![auto fix](https://docs.insys-icom.de/assets/icons/auto-fix.png) *Startup* wizard under *Help* → *Wizards*.

> [!WARNING]
> Note for routers behind an external firewall!
> 
> Please note the instructions for routers behind an external firewall on the [Startup wizard](/kb/docs/en/quickstart-wizard-en) page.

1. Make sure your router and your computer are in the same network.
2. Access the router’s web interface: `https://192.168.1.1`
3. Skip the warning about insecure connection. This is due a self-signed certificate.
4. Navigate to ![cog outline](https://docs.insys-icom.de/assets/icons/cog-outline.png) *Administration* → *icom Router Management*
5. Click on the ![file upload](https://docs.insys-icom.de/assets/icons/file-upload.png) File Upload button. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/c690fe99-a3eb-474c-a449-c2c75e5df119/Images/Documentation/iRM-Setup(1).png)
6. Upload the configuration file you downloaded in Step 2 and click on **SUBMIT**.
7. Click on **ACTIVATE PROFILE** . ![](https://cdn.document360.io/c690fe99-a3eb-474c-a449-c2c75e5df119/Images/Documentation/iRM-Setup2.png)
8. Back in icom Router Management, you should now see the router being online. This can take a few minutes.

## Adding Multiple Routers (Bulk Import)

### Step 1: Prepare Bulk Import File

1. Log in to [icom Router Management](https://console.insys-tec.net/).
2. Navigate to **Inventory** **→** **Router***.*
3. Use the three-dots menu and choose **Bulk import**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/c690fe99-a3eb-474c-a449-c2c75e5df119/Images/Documentation/Router BUlk Import Step 1.png)
4. Use the button at the bottom to “*Download sample file*”. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/c690fe99-a3eb-474c-a449-c2c75e5df119/Images/Documentation/Router Bulk Import Step 2.png)
5. Open the `.csv` file and provide the data for each new router:
  - `name`: Router name (descriptive)
  - `groupName`: Router group (must exist in icom Router Management).
  - `serialNumber`: The router’s serial number .
  - `location`: (optional).
  - `connectionSessionTimeout`: e.g., `300` .
  - `connectionPingInterval`: e.g., `60` .
  - `connectionPongTimeout`: e.g., `20` .
6. Ensure all required fields are filled. Save as `.csv` using semicolon (;) as delimiter. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/c690fe99-a3eb-474c-a449-c2c75e5df119/Images/Documentation/Router%20Bulk%20Import%20Schritt%203.png)

### Step 2: Upload Bulk File

1. Upload the completed `.csv` file via the Bulk Import window.
2. icom Router Management will process and register each router: ![](https://cdn.document360.io/c690fe99-a3eb-474c-a449-c2c75e5df119/Images/Documentation/Router Bulk Import Step 4.png)
  - Successful imports: Routers added in state “Not configured”.
  - Failures: Notification with error reason (e.g., missing group, invalid format).

### Step 3: Configuring the Routers

Follow the same process as outlined in section 2. for each router:

- Download configuration from icom Router Management
- Upload via router web UI
- Activate profile

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> Each router must be configured individually, even after bulk addition.

The serial number can be taken from the label on the router or its menu item *Status* → *Dashboard*.

Router groups enable to combine several routers logically, for example for a customer or a project.
