Module Type
The device's model number or hardware type.

same firmware image.
Default File Transfer Method
The default file transfer method for this device type. To set the default file transfer method for a
device type, right−click on a device type folder (lowest level folder) and select Default File Transfer
Method. You can override this default at the device level. For more information, see How to Set a File
Transfer Method.
Firmware Download MIB
The Firmware Download MIB supported by this device type. If the device type supports more than
one Firmware Download MIB, you can use the drop−down list to select the desired MIB. Click Save
to save any changes.
Initially, Auto Discover is displayed here, which means that Inventory Manager will read the
Firmware Download MIB on the first device of this device type that you add or import, and display it
here. Inventory Manager will then use that MIB to perform firmware and boot PROM downloads on
all devices of this device type. You can override the MIB specified here on a per−device basis using
the MIB Overrides section on the Image Information Tab (Device).
