# Adding an Adapter

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 other hardware devices, you must use the Tmedia [Web Portal](https://github.com/telcobridges-main/tmedia-wiki/tree/main/tmedia/configuration/web-portal/README.md).

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. Select Hardware from the navigation panel.**

* Select "TMP" or "TMS" from the Adapter Type field.
* Select "Enabled" from the Target State field.
* Click "Create" to store your settings.

# 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/legacy-releases-toolpack-v2.x/adding-an-adapter.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.
