Attributes

The following table lists and describes attributes generally applicable to this element. However, not all of the attributes listed here are applicable to all EIEs. Additionally, some attributes are required for use in every device template file of a certain EIE, but others may be used on a case-by-case or device-by-device basis, depending on your specific needs. All attributes in templates are case sensitive; but the case sensitivity of attribute values is based on context.
