Using Custom Variables
The Variable Edit page includes additional generic fields, labeled as custom_variable_1 through custom_
variable_10. The custom_variable_1 field can be used to add multiple lines of text rather than a single entry (as
indicated by the larger note field on the UI.) This is useful, for example, if you want to add a new
WLANconfiguration to a VC. Other variables can be used to enter additional, single support commands.
The process for creating custom variables is the same as that used in editing available variables. To create a
custom variable on a single VC, use the horizontal scroll bar (if necessary) to locate the variable you want to edit,
and type directly into that field. To add the same custom variable to all virtual controllers, select the check box
beside the VCs you want to edit, select the variable from the drop-down menu at the top of the edit page, enter
the variable information, and then click Apply.
Your template must support or contain the commands and/or configuration that you add using the custom variables in
order for any changes to be pushed to your devices.
