Adding Devices to Device Credentials Using DLMS

Using the DLMS function you can add devices to Device and Credentials Repository. After adding
devices to Device and Credentials Repository you can add these devices to RME manually or
automatically (see Adding Devices to RME).
The new device information should be added using the deviceInfo tag.
The CSV version used for adding devices to Device and Credentials is 2.0. You must enter device name
(including domain name or simply an IP address) and the SNMP read community string.
Note View Permission Report (Common Services > Server > Reports) to check if you have the required
privileges to perform this task.
The sample XML File for Adding Devices to Device and Credentials Repository (dlmsAddDevices.xml):
<source>
<host>CiscoWorks-Server</host>
<product>CiscoWorks:RME</product>
<version>2.0</version>
