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 WLANconfiguration 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.

NOTE: 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.

In the image below, a new WLANconfig is added to Store-00001 with the following configuration:

wlan access-rule 0ttt

rule any any match any any any permit

wlan ssid-profile 0ttt

type employee

essid 0ttt

wpa-passphrase 8d072cdea5bcec1eaae3cb597975951fbd7d7124120e3217

opmode wpa2-psk-aes

max-authentication-failures 0

rf-band all

captive-portal disable

dtim-period 1

inactivity-timeout 1000

broadcast-filter none

dmo-channel-utilization-threshold 90

Applying Changes

Select Save when you are done updating variables.

NOTE: All changes will be lost if you do not click Save.

The Confirm Changes page opens, displaying your recent edits. At this point, you can apply changes immediately,

you can schedule to apply the changes at a later time, or you can cancel.
