Operations with Equipment Templates

This page contains instructions on how to manage equipment templates from the interface.

Export template file

This option is available for the Server Default template only!

To save the configuration template of a particular device to a .xml file:

1. Click the Export icon in the Equipments table.
2. A dialog box will ask you to confirm your choice. The default file name is: tpl_<manufacturer/model><firmware><current_date>_<current_time>.xml

These files can be updated from the VoipNow interface at a later point.

Regenerate a template

To regenerate all existing configuration files based on the new preferences:

1. Select the checkbox corresponding to the template in question.
2. Click the Regenerate files on top of the table.

Leave it unchecked if you do not want to modify the settings of the existing devices and if you wish to use the custom configuration file only for the devices that will be provisioned with this template from now onwards.

Search for template

All provisioning templates uploaded to the system are listed in a table. The Used column shows the number of provisioned equipments currently using this template.

To filter the existing templates:

1. Enter the name of the template in the text box on top of the table.
2. Click the Search button. The system will remember the search criteria when a new search is performed and even after the user logs out.

Search for a device

According to the selected search criteria, the Equipments table can display:

• For Show All: The configuration files of all the devices that can be added to the current template, even if they are not customized. The Server Default template does not offer this filter as it includes all the default configuration files. All 42 are displayed.
• For Customized: The device(s) whose configuration files were modified.
