Machine Names are required to enable the Computer Panic Button software on end user machines - these can be captured in two ways: 

1. Machine Name Import: In the 911Cellular Portal, Manage Devices → Computer Panic Buttons, click Upload Machines to download the approved import template and import all Machine data.
2. Crowd-Sourcing: If your district opts in to using the Computer Panic Buttons, the Computer Panic Button software can crowdsource all AP information during software deployment.

Machine Name Import Process:

Step 1: Download the Machine Import Template

• Log into the 911Cellular Portal.
• Navigate to: Manage Devices > Computer Panic Buttons
• Select Upload Machines to access and download the Machine Import Template.

Step 2: Populate the Template

Enter the required details for each Machine:

• Machine Name – Unique identifier of the machine; this information is passed through on the E911 Call identify who activated the alarm.
• First Known Ethernet Zone – The zone the machine presides in.
  • Important: The zone must list the path to the most granular subzone. Refer to Security Zones in 911Cellular Portal for complete naming convention.
  • Tip: Access the full list of Security Zone Full Names by clicking on "List View.” These full names can be copied and pasted directly into Column D on the template, no "pipe" characters required.
• Plaque / Room Number– Specific room or area description (e.g., Room 202)

Step 3: Upload the Machine List

• Return to the 911Cellular Portal, go to Manage Devices > Computer Panic Buttons.
• Attach and Upload File to import Machines.

If your spreadsheet is rejected from the upload, review Column B and confirm the Zones listed are the most granular zones.

Example: If my zone structure lists zone - High School > subzone - Floor 1, and only High School was listed in column D, the spreadsheet will be rejected.  Floor 1 must be listed as it is the most granular zone location.

* Gateway IPV4 is not a required field.
