Device templates

If you want to configure multiple devices in a similar manner, you can do so easily by using device templates. By loading a device template into a device, you import all settings, services and data sources that you have configured in your device template.

Create a device template

To save yourself the struggle of configuring multiple devices in the same manner over and over again, you first have to create a device template. Follow the steps below to create a device template.

• Go to the Fleet Manager app, which is accessible from the Apps menu in the top right corner if you are currently in a different X4 Remote app.
• Open the main menu, go to Device templates, and select Add template.
• You now have two options:
  • Create a new device template
  • Create a template from an existing device

Create a new device template

By creating a new device template you can select every setting that you want to configure in your device template manually. Please follow the steps below to create a new device template.

• Click on [Create new]
• Enter a Name and the Device type you want to create a template for.

You now enter a unconfigured mock device. In this environment you can create a device template by adding settings to the template manually. There are many options that you can configure. You can choose to:

• Configure LAN settings
• Configure Firewall settings
• Add pages to the device template
• Add services to the device template
• Add and configure data sources for Cloud Logging and Cloud Notify

Next step
Now that you have created a device template, you can use the template by configuring a device from that template.

Make changes to a device template

If something in your configured set-up changes, you can make changes in the device template by following the steps below:

• Go to the Fleet Manager app, which is accessible from the Apps menu in the top right corner if you are currently in a different X4 Remote app.
• Open the main menu, go to Device templates, and select name of the device template you want to change.
• You can now make the following changes to the device template:
  • Change the LAN settings
  • Change Firewall settings
  • Change or add pages in the device template
  • Change or add services visible in the device template
  • Change or add data sources for Cloud Logging and Cloud Notify

Configure a device from a template

When you have configured your device template you can use it to configure a new device. Please follow the steps below to configure a device from a template.

• Go to the Fleet Manager app, which is accessible from the Apps menu in the top right corner if you are currently in a different X4 Remote app.
