## Add DataMan Readers to Groups

Create device groups to organize and manage the configuration of your readers collectively.

## Procedure

1. Click the Menu icon and go to the DataMan page of the Device Management app.

2. Select one or more readers or reader groups using the checkboxes.

3. Click the Add Selected to Group button.

4. In the window that pops up:

   1. Type in the name of an existing group, or type a new group name.

   2. Select the primary reader in the group.

   3. Optionally, you can:

      - Reorder the readers in the group.

      - Flash the LEDs of the individual readers for easy identification.

      - Manually edit the network settings of each reader, or edit the network settings for every reader in the group with the Use DHCP toggle and the Mass Network Settings Generator option.

        Note: When editing the IP address of readers in a group, the readers get sequential IP addresses. For example, if you enter 10.86.98.100 in the IP Address field, the first reader in the group gets the 10.86.98.100 address, and the other readers get 10.86.98.101, 10.86.98.102, and the subsequent addresses.

5. If editing a password-protected reader, enter the password.

6. Click Submit.
