Batch Customization via AddTool, AddImage, and AddDevType
Topologies
This field specifies the Topology type or types which apply to the device defined by your
new node class. You must select Topology images which have already been defined, and
you must be sure to specify their names using the correct case. To specify multiple
topology images, separate the values with commas; for a file in CSV format, enclose the
entire attribute value in double quotes.

Management Module
Use this parameter to specify the application that will be launched for your new node class
when any one of the Manage options is selected. If the executable you specify is located
with the executables (in the \NetSight Element Manager x.x\bin directory), you need only
specify the executable name. If it is located in another directory, be sure to specify the full
path.
Management Arguments
You can use this optional parameter to specify any arguments or options that should be
passed to the specified command. You should specify any necessary switches in the
format required by the application you want to add; if required or allowed, you can also
add a specific argument string, or one or more of several available substitutions:
%I
%C
%O
%N
%H
%%
Working Directory
Use this optional parameter to specify the location of any secondary files that might be
needed by the executable, if those files are not located in the same directory as the
executable itself. If you choose not to specify a working directory, the directory in which
the executable resides will be used by default.
Description
Use this optional parameter to provide a description of the device represented by your new
node class. This description will be displayed by default in the Properties window for
devices represented by your new node class.
