Easy upload for programming 3rd party properties (Inovonics .SDF, .BAK, .CSV files)
Roles: Technicians
Last updated: January 2020
The NextCentury Web Portal uploader tool allows an Inovonics property to be created and programmed using an .SDF or .BAK backup file.
All of the property layout, transmitter programming, and site visit notes will be added to the property listing. The NextCentury Gateway is then ready to begin reading transmitters on the property.
Using an .SDF or .BAK file for creating and programming a property
When an .SDF or .BAK file is used, the property listing does not need to be created. The upload tool automates the full process of creating the property listing and programming the equipment.
Easy Drag and Drop Upload:
- Login to the NextCentury Web Portal (any page)
- Drag the .BAK or .SDF file from the location where it is stored on your computer onto the browser window
- The property creation and programming will process and you will be directed to the new property listing.
File Select:
- Navigate to the "Properties" page on the Home menu
- Select the "+ Add Property" menu at the top left of the property list
- Select the "Upload Property File" option
- Select the file at the location where you have it stored on your computer
- The property creation and programming will process and you will be directed to the new property listing.
