The Device Template shortcut menu contains the following options:

Delete

Deletes the selected device template. This option is
unavailable if there are any devices currently using the device
template, or if there is a device that has been discovered by the
OpenLNS Server but does not yet appear in the OpenLNS CT
drawing.

Import XIF

Updates the device template (and optionally devices) with the
data from the XIF that you select.

Plug-ins

Displays the list of OpenLNS plug-ins registered for the
selected device template. This option is unavailable if the
device does not have any defined plug-ins.

If you remove a template with an associated plug-in and you
later re-import the template, you must re-register the plug-in.

Properties

Opens the Device Template Properties dialog box. See
Device Template Properties for more information on the
options in this dialog box.

Resync to Resource Files

Updates the device template (and optionally devices) with the
current data from the device resource files.

Editing Device Template Properties

You can edit a device template. To edit a device template, right-click the template on the Device
Templates
tab in the Network Explorer, and then click Properties on the shortcut menu. The Device
Template Properties
dialog box opens, showing the attributes of the selected device template.
