Checking for Appropriate Template
Before you create a configuration with a template, make sure you have the
appropriate template(s) to use in the capture process. To check the available
templates, select Setup, Templates from the Main window menu bar. Then
select device specific or shared from the View menu.
ECM captures the values of those attributes specified in the template. If you
are going to load the configuration to multiple devices, you should not include
device specific attributes such as Network_Address (the IP address of the
device) in the configuration. Likewise, the template used to capture this
configuration should not include the IP address attribute.
Creating a Template
To create a new template, do the following procedure. If you have not created a
template, see Chapter 3, Creating and Managing Templates, for details:
1. Open the Templates window by selecting Setup, Templates from the
ECM Main window menu bar.
2. In the Templates window, select the New button or File, New from the
menu bar.
The new template, named <UNTITLED>, appears highlighted in the
Template Name field and all the readable, writable, and non shared
attributes for this device type (not just those of the specific device selected)
appear in the Insertable Attributes field.
3. Select the desired attributes in the following ways:
a. As a safety precaution, begin by clicking on the right-hand arrowhead
of the Deselect All button, thereby ensuring clearance of any residual
selection of attributes hidden beyond the visible range of the list
shown in the window.
b. Select any desired combination of attributes in the right-hand
Insertable Attributes list by any of the following methods:
• To select a single attribute, simply click on the attribute entry
line.
• To select a single group of multiple consecutive attributes, either
click on the first attribute, hold down the shift key and then click
on the last attribute you want to select, or else simply drag the
cursor over the desired group of attributes.
• To select multiple nonconsecutive attributes, hold down the
Control key as you select entries.
