remote-devices add
remote-devices add - Add a new remote device to the span of control of the Sensor Control. The remote units can then be discovered using the discovery related commands.
Description:
Allows remote devices to be added to the span of control of the Sensor Control manually. Adding remote devices provides the Sensor Control with the information (e.g. MAC address/Security key association) required to establish a secured management session between the Sensor Control and the remote device. Once the remote device is added, the Sensor Control must be authorized to manage the device.
Syntax:
remote-devices add device-name <name> {
