Configuration Templates
Refer to the Configuration Templates screen to modify or delete configuration templates originally created
within the My Network menu.
A template is a configuration file that can be applied to a specific device model. The template has
placeholders for providing variable values for either a full or partial device configurations. The
placeholders follow a syntax convention defined by WMS. For example, there is a configuration
command to define the time zone for the device such as "timezone Asia/Calcutta". The template file
would have it as "#TimeZone#". Within the template, the variable is "#TimeZone#" whose value is fed
through a variable file at the time of applying it to a device or groups of devices. The variable file
supplies the values for the parameters within in the template. You need to create variable files to
perform configuration updates through the WMS console.
NOTE
Templates require creation when conducting configuration updates through the WMS console.
