1. Complete the following columns:

• Floor - The floor name must be the same as Building and Floors Module. Beware of your floor number format as 01 is different to 1, see Import Troubleshooting.
• IP Address - The IP Address of the Switch e.g. 10.123.123.12.
• Additional Floors - Sometimes switches are connected to the multiple floors (e.g. levels 1,2 and 3 are managed by the same switch, which allows the floors to all be connected). If levels 1, 2 and 3 are connected the value in this column would be 2,3 and the value in the Floor column would be 1.
• Switch Name - This is the name of the switch.
