in the configuration template name are also not permitted. In addition, the characters
listed in Table 1 are not permitted in a configuration template file name.
• Template Type—Select the type of the configuration template to be created, File or
Segment.
◦ File—Select File to create a entire startup configuration or running configuration for
CPEs.

a configuration file. To create a configuration segment, you can use two methods to
add the segment content: Console and TR-069 Node Form.

the Content text box.
◦ TR-069 Node Form—Enter the command lines or script by using a form that is

CPEs list when deploying the target configuration. For more information, see “Deploying
CPE configurations.”
NOTE: If you do not configure this parameter, leaving the Applicable CPEs as null, you
can select any CPEs when deploying the target configuration template.
• Description—Enter a description for the configuration template.
• Content—Enter the contents of your configuration template in the Content field.
◦ To create a configuration file or a configuration segment in Console format, enter
