Configuring General Templates

Perform the following steps to configure Templates within a Group.
1. Select a Group to configure.
NOTE: 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.
2. Select an AP from the Group to serve as a model AP for the others in the Group. You should select a device that
is configured currently with all the desired settings. If any APs in the group have two radios, make sure to select a
model AP that has two radios and that both are configured in proper and operational fashion.
3. Go to the Groups > Templates configuration page. Select Add to add a new template.
4. Select the type of device that will be configured by this template.
5. Select the model AP from the drop-down list, and select Fetch.
