You can model devices, generate configlets, and activate many ScreenOS devices at
one time. Alternatively, you can model multiple devices initially, and then generate
configlets and activate them later. The devices must be running ScreenOS 5.x or later
and support configlets; NetScreen systems (NetScreen-500, 5000 line, ISG1000, and
ISG2000) do not support configlets.
