  2. The Default credentials page allows you to configure the default credentials of the devices to guarantee communication of the element and the devices.
  3. The Racks page allows you to configure "Racks" that will be created as views in DataMiner and the elements can be organized in them.
  4. The Discover page allows you to start the discovery.
  5. The Synchronize page allows you to synchronize existing configured elements in the DMS to be synchronized in the results table.
  6. The Result page provides an overview of all discovered devices. You can assign them to racks and create the elements in bulk or one by one.
