Editing Device Templates
You can edit configuration templates separately for each device model. When the device connected to the network for the first time, it is loaded with the relevant device template. Templates can be applied using the following methods:
| ■ | Using the Actions & Features button to apply extensively used features for specific phone model groups. For example, configure Automatic DST for Teams. |
| ■ | Configuring individual parameters. For example, enable DHCP on all Teams devices. |
You can also perform global actions such as removing all existing configuration and saving configuration to an external file.
For information on third-party vendor products, see the Device Manager for Third-Party Vendor Products Administrator's Manual.
