Device’s Name Enabled it should be unique, but you can change it later	(Required!) The unique name of device. Also you can switch the new device with Disabled (if you see that, the device will be disabled) or Enabled (if you see that, the device will be enabled) buttons. Disabled device will be stored in database, but won’t appear in the main configuration.
Device Group Name Group_1 Group_2 Group_3 Preconfigured values: k – key; e – enable; d – default	(Required!) Every device must be member of pre-defined group. If device group has pre-cofigured a tacacs key (k), the tacacs key is not required to create new device.

Device’s IP Address Ping	(Required!) Unique ip address of the new device. You can set full network, for that use prefix scroll. Also you can test availability with Ping button.
Tacacs Key	(Required!) Pre-Shared Key that used between tacacs server and the device (NAS). Required in case if device group doesn’t have one.
Enable Password	Default enable password. If user does not have pre-configured enable password, that password will be used. The enable password can be stored in clear text or as MD5 hash. To store password as a hash, type your password, choose MD5 (Type of storing) and don’t forget to set “Encrypt the enable password (hashing), uncheck it if you put hash”, else the server will think that you put the hash instead of clear text and just save it.
