Using Tools
Cisco Access Manager (CAM) provides a set of tools to help you to manage various features of your Cisco AccessPath system and System Controller. The tool set includes the several managers as described in the following sections:
•
"Using the Template Manager" on page 5-1
•
•
•
•
•
Using the Template Manager
The Template Manager helps you to manage the CAM configuration templates. The Template Manager supports the following tasks:
•
•
•
The Template Manager lists all the available templates. The information displayed in the main Template Manager dialog box is independent of the device or container you might have selected in the Device Tree View. (See .)
Figure 8-1 Template Manager—Main Dialog Box
lists and briefly describes each of the fields that display on the main dialog box of the Template Manager.
Table 8-1 Template Manager Fields
CAM configuration templates are text files that contain Cisco IOS command-line interface (CLI) commands and template variables that allow you to easily define configuration data for a device. CAM creates your configuration files by substituting the template variables with data derived from selections or entries you made at the various dialog boxes during the create and modify procedures for System Controllers and shelves. CAM then downloads these configuration files to the devices that make up your Cisco AccessPath system.
You do not specify a configuration template for a stack. You specify a configuration template during the creation or modification of only System Controllers and shelves. You can also schedule when the download of the configuration is to occur. For details about the create and modify procedures, see the "Configuring System Controllers" section and the "Shelf Configuration for System Controllers" section.
Note
CAM supports two types of templates:
•
•
Note
All of the CLI code entered into a custom configuration template must be written in valid Cisco IOS syntax. Otherwise, when CAM attempts to download the configuration file, the shelf rejects the command.
Default Configuration Templates
lists the default configuration templates for each type of device.

Importing a Configuration Template
You can create a custom configuration template using the Import feature in the Template Manager.
To create a custom configuration template by importing:

Editing a Configuration Template
You can create a custom configuration template using the Edit feature in the Template Manager.
To edit a custom configuration template:
Figure 8-3 Template Manager—Edit Dialog Box
Deleting a Custom Configuration Template
You cannot delete a default configuration template. You can only delete custom configuration templates that you have either imported or renamed and edited. In addition, a custom template cannot be deleted if it is currently used by a shelf.
CautionIf you delete a custom configuration template, you cannot recover it.

Using the IOS Image Manager
The IOS Image Manager provides device-dependent management functions. The IOS Manager supports the following tasks:
•
•
•
The IOS Image Manager allows you to upgrade or restore a Cisco IOS image on a device. It checks the Cisco IOS images loaded on the shelves within a stack or System Controller. The IOS Image Manager compares the loaded version against the default image version. If the Cisco IOS images do not match, the IOS Image Manager reports the discrepancy.
CAM provides autoverify and autoupdate capability as options. For more information about these options, see the "Setting UI Preference" section.
The Cisco 3640, System Controller-3640, Cisco 7206, and Cisco AS5800 devices have two slots (slot0 and slot1) for Flash memory cards. CAM always uses slot0 as the default Flash memory device when loading Cisco IOS images to these devices. Be sure to have a Flash memory card inserted in slot0. Otherwise, CAM cannot successfully load the Cisco IOS image.

CAM displays and executes tasks in chronological order, by their scheduled start time at the Task Manager dialog box. However, if user-scheduled tasks are scheduled to execute at the same time, CAM executes them one after the other in random sequence. If ReportInternal tasks, OtherInternal tasks, and user-scheduled tasks are scheduled to execute at the same time, CAM executes them simultaneously.
Note
If a system crash occurs, the status of all tasks is reset to scheduled after recovery. CAM then executes them in chronological order.

If you have administrator privileges, you can use all dialog boxes without restriction. You must have administrator privileges to use the User Account Manager. If you have administrator privileges, you can add, modify, and delete users at the User Account Manager dialog box. Additionally, you can set the user name, password, and read-write or read-only privileges for each CAM user.
If you have read-only or read-write privilege, you are restricted. The read-only privilege prevents you from creating or making changes at any of the dialog boxes in CAM. read-only users have access only to monitor and report dialog boxes. The read-write privilege limits a user to adding or editing his/her own settings. Read-write users have access to all dialog boxes except the User Account Manager dialog box.
