Adding Custom Properties for an Infrastructure Device

To add custom infrastructure device properties to new or existing devices, you must create a custom settings .xml file. For information about creating these files, see the Extended Device Support Reference Guide located on the Wavelink web site. After you create a custom settings file, import the file into Avalanche. Avalanche will use the file to update the infrastructure device information.

To add properties:

1   Ensure you have created a custom settings support file and know its location on your system.
2   From the Avalanche Console, select File > Import > Custom Advanced Settings.

The Custom Advanced Settings dialog box appears.

3   Click Import New Setting.

The Install a New Setting dialog box appears.

4   Navigate to and select the custom settings file and click Select File.

The file name appears in the Installed Custom Advanced Settings list.

5   If you want to remove a custom settings file, select the appropriate file from the Installed Custom Advanced Settings list and click Remove.
6   Click Close to exit the Custom Advanced Settings dialog box and return to the Avalanche Console.

Once you have finished importing your support and firmware files, build a firmware package with the new files. The firmware package should then be deployed to your servers. For information on building a firmware package, see Deploying Infrastructure Firmware.
