Adding IPS on CSM problem

[dina.ihab]

hello,

I have two ASA 5540, each one has IPS-SSM20 and also have two IPS 4255 appliances.

I'm using CSM ver 3.2.1 and i could add the two ASA and their IPS Modules but i can't now add the two IPS appliances, an error appeared "Unable to get OS version from device or configuration file. Please check if the selected device type matches with the target configuration".

what can i do now??
