iRule Handsets v2.0

This tutorial covers how to create a new Handset in the iRule Builder. Handsets store a group of Panels and allow for a custom interface to be loaded to similar devices such as completely unique interface to two iPhones in the same home using the same iRule Builder License. Handsets also support the iPhone/iPod 4 Retina resolution as well as the standard iPad/iPod resolutions. iRule Basic accounts come with three Handsets while iRule Pro accounts have five Handsets. Both account types can add new Handsets.
