Once you are connected with your web browser on the TERRACOM device, the device
will show you all the TERRACOM devices on the network. You just need to press on “Add”
and give a name to the device. If you want to add an “offline” device or a “third party” device,
you need to know its IP address.
You might need also to add the device itself, if you want to play messages or to have
actions locally. In this case, you should give it the IP address: 127.0.0.1:5600.
