A device template is a set of configuration parameters such as settings for radio, channels to monitor,
VLANs to monitor, offline sensor configuration, antenna selection and port assignment. This template can
be applied to one or more AirTight devices. When you have multiple devices deployed in your
organization, configuring each individual device could be monotonous, tedious and time-consuming. A
device template is a convenient way of applying a standard set of Wi-Fi and/or WIPS settings on multiple
AirTight devices simultaneously, thereby saving time and effort, and ensuring consistency. You can have
a common device template for all the devices deployed at a location, by configuring the template as the
default device template. See the image below for a graphical representation of the use of device
templates.
Manage device templates using the Configuration>Device Templates. You need administrator
privileges to manage device templates.
Device Template
The server stores the default device configuration in a predefined template called System Template. The
System Template can be modified. Whenever an AirTight device is added or discovered, AirTight Wi-Fi
AirTight WIPS server automatically assigns the configuration settings in this template to the device. You
can edit the default configuration settings in System Template to suit your need.
