2. Add rows until there are enough to describe each location in your iControl Edge

3. For each row, specify an ID, a short name, a long name, the Application Server’s IP address,
its host name and the name of the corresponding spreadsheet file.
Version Worksheet
The iControl Edge configuration spreadsheets included with your initial purchase of an iControl
Edge Application Server match the current version of the iControl Edge package. The set of
spreadsheets provided with the next software release could have a different structure.
However, when upgrading your iControl Edge system, you do not need to start over, and port
all your existing data to the new spreadsheets. The Model attribute ensures that legacy
spreadsheets can still be parsed with a new version of the package.
When you are ready to use the new features introduced with the most recent version of the
package, then all you need to do is to add the necessary columns and rows to your existing
spreadsheets, and populate them based on your actual system configuration. Once you have
completed adding the new data, you must update the Version worksheet accordingly.

iControl Edge Web pages designed for a 1280 × 1024 display resolution). Longer
names may appear truncated.
