Summary
CSV bulk scan is useful to onboard multiple devices that may use different IP addresses, credentials, protocols, or ports. A single CSV file can include mixed supported device types as well as mixed HTTP/HTTPS and port values.
This article explains how to use the CSV bulk scan feature in HealthPro Bridge manual scan mode. With this feature, you can prepare a CSV file containing device connection details and scan many devices in one action instead of entering each device manually.
IMPORTANT: CSV bulk scan is available starting with HealthPro Bridge v1.11 and is
supported only in manual scan mode.Prerequisite
Connect HealthPro Bridge to Cloud Portal and sign in to the Bridge client. Scanning is available after the bridge is connected and ready for device onboarding.
Starting a CSV Bulk Scan
To start a CSV bulk scan:
- Open the HealthPro Bridge client.
- Navigate to the scan page and select Manual.
- Click on the radio button for Import CSV.
- Download the default CSV template.
- Fill in the template with your device information.
- Save the file as a .csv file.
- Select the CSV file to upload it.
-
Click Scan.
Manual scanning in process message appears.
NOTE: When Import CSV is enabled, the standard manual input fields for Type,
IP, ID, Password, HTTP/HTTPS, and Port are disabled because those values are
read from the uploaded file.
CSV File Format
The CSV file must use the following column order:
Type, IP, ID, Password, HTTP/HTTPS, Port
| Column | Required | Description |
| Type | Yes | Device type to scan |
| IP | Yes | Device IP address |
| ID | Yes | Login ID used for the device |
| Password | Yes | Login password used for the device |
| HTTP/HTTPS | Yes | Connection protocol |
| Port | Yes | Connection port number |
NOTE: The default template filename is Import.csv, but you can rename the file
before uploading it.
Supported Device Type Values
Enter the device type in the Type column using one of the values below. Type matching is case-insensitive.
| Type Value | Device |
| HANWHA VISION Camera | Hanwha Vision camera |
| AXIS Camera | AXIS camera |
| IPRO Camera | i-PRO camera |
| ONVIF Camera | ONVIF camera |
| HANWHA VISION NVR | Hanwha Vision NVR |
| HANWHA VISION WAVE | Hanwha Vision WAVE server |
| ALLIED TELESIS Switch | Allied Telesis managed switch |
CSV Rules and Limits
- Only CSV files can be uploaded.
- Row 1 is treated as the header row and is not scanned.
- Only columns A through F are used.
- Data in column G and beyond is ignored.
- Devices are scanned in the same order they appear in the CSV file.
- If a row contains invalid data within the valid scan range, that device is shown as a scan failure.
- You can mix supported device types, protocols, and ports in one CSV file.
After Upload
After a CSV file is uploaded, the selected filename is shown in the HealthPro Bridge client so you can confirm which file is currently loaded. The Scan button becomes available after a valid CSV file is selected.
After a scan completes or is stopped, the uploaded CSV file remains loaded. You can run the scan again using the same file, or replace it by uploading another CSV file.
IMPORTANT: If you disable Import CSV mode, the uploaded file and the current scan
results are cleared.Common Scenarios
- If you try to upload a non-CSV file, the following message appears: Only CSV files are allowed.
- Other invalid scan cases follow the standard scan failure behavior in the interface.
- The CSV upload itself does not perform detailed per-row validation before the scan starts; invalid entries are handled during scan processing.
After the Scan
Review the scan results in the same way as a standard manual scan. Once the target devices are discovered successfully, select the devices you want and add them to Cloud Portal (see HealthPro Bridge - Settings: How do I use HealthPro Bridge?).
