# Adding TMS Hardware

> **Applies to:** Tmedia 3.0, 3.2, 3.3

When you receive a new system, at least one hardware configuration will have been set in the [Toolpack](https://telcobridges.com/products/development-platforms-tdev/) application server, by default. To add a TMS hardware device to your system, use the Tmedia [Web Portal](https://github.com/telcobridges-main/tmedia-wiki/tree/main/tmedia/configuration/web-portal/README.md).

![Schematic showing 2 TMP6400 devices with an external server and a second machine with a web browser](https://docs.telcobridges.com/w/images/2/2d/Schematic-pair-of-tmp6400s.jpg)

To add one or more additional hardware devices to the Toolpack system configuration, their serial numbers must be registered with the Toolpack application server.

**To add a hardware device:**

1- Click **Hardware Units** in the navigation panel

![TdmSwitch 0 A](https://docs.telcobridges.com/w/images/f/f3/TdmSwitch_0_A.png)

2- Click **Create New Unit**, to add a new hardware device

![TdmSwitch 1 A](https://docs.telcobridges.com/w/images/4/45/TdmSwitch_1_A.png)

3- Enter a **name** for the hardware device

* Enter the **serial number** of the new hardware device (filling in the Serial Number field will cause auto-completion of the field to occur).
* Select the appropriate **hardware device** from the Type field. (In this case select TMS)
* Enter the location in which the hardware device is installed.
* Enter a meaningful description for the use or purpose of the hardware device.
* Select **Enabled** from the Target State field.
* Click **Create**

![TdmSwitch 2 A](https://docs.telcobridges.com/w/images/d/dc/TdmSwitch_2_A.png)

4- Verify that the newly added hardware device appears in the **TMS Units** list.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/tmedia-documentation/configuration/adding-tms-hardware.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
