* Importing Objects:
 Syntax: OBJECT; Objecttype ; Common name ; Visible label ; Asset tag; portname,portname,etc ; porttype,porttype,etc
 Value 1, OBJECT
 Value 2, Objectype: Can be one of the predefined types (SERVER, PATCHPANEL, SWITCH, VM), or a numeric value indicating the object type from Racktables 
 Value 3, Common name: Common name string
 Value 4, Asset tag: Asset tag string
 Value 5, Port array: This is an optional field where you can create ports for the objects, separated by a comma. When you use this , you also need to add the Port type array
 An individual port field can be a range of ports. Eg. 'eth[0-9]' creates ten ports ranging from eth0 to eth9.
 Value 6, Port type array: This is an array which maps to the previous port array. This allows you to specify the interface type of the ports. It takes the form 'a-b'. Where a is the inner interface type, and b the outer interface type. Both a and b are numeric values.
 New inner / outer interface pair types can be linked using the configuration -> Enabled port types page. When the 'a-' value is ommited, the inner port type defaults to 'hardwire'. 
 Examples: 

OBJECT;SERVER;myServer;www.server.com;SRV001;IPMI,eth[0-2];1-24,3-24 

OBJECT	SERVER	myServer	 www.server.com	SRV001	IPMI,eth[0-2]	1-24,3-24
  1        2       3                   4          5          6              7

Most code in the racktables-contribs repo is supplied by external parties. Secondly, csv_import.php isn't even in the official racktables-contribs repo, it's in a fork maintained by sara.nl. Please contact them for support.
