Configuring General Template Files and Variables
This section describes the most general aspects of configuring AP device templates and the most common variables:
l "Configuring General Templates" on page 175
l "Using Template Syntax" on page 177, including the following sections:
n "Using AP-Specific Variables" on page 177

Configuring General Templates
Perform the following steps to configure Templates within a Group.
1. Select a Group to configure.
Start with a small group of access points and placing these APs in Monitor Only mode, which is read-only. Do this using the
Modify Devices link until you are fully familiar with the template configuration process. This prevents configuration changes
from being applied to the APs until you are sure you have the correct configuration specified.
