Table 70 Modify Multiple Devices Section Fields and Default Values
Action Description
AMP Group/Folder Move the selected devices to a new group or folder. If the AP is in managed mode when it is
moved to a new group, it will be reconfigured.
Dell PowerConnect W AP
Group
Moves the selected APs to a new Dell PowerConnect W AP Group. If the AP is in managed mode
when it is moved to a new group it will be reconfigured.
Desired Radio Status Enables or disables the radios on the selected device. Does not apply Cisco IOS APs.
Cisco Thin AP Settings Bulk configuration for per-thin AP settings, previously configured on the Group LWAPP AP tab,
can be performed from Modify Devices on the APs/Devices List page. Make changes to LWAPP
AP groups, including the option that was under Modify Devices.
Poll now Polls selected devices for current user count and bandwidth data; overrides default poll settings
for the group. Polling numerous devices may create a temporary performance load on your
AWMS server.
Audit selected devices Fetches the current configuration from the device and compares it to the desired AWMS
configuration. The audit action updates the Configuration Status.
Run report on selected
devices
Takes you to the Reports > Definitions page where you can define or run a custom report for
selected devices. For more details and a procedure, see “Using Custom Reports” on page222.
Update the credentials AMP
uses to communicate with
these devices
Update changes the credentials AWMS uses to communicate with the device. It does not
change the credentials on the AP.
Import settings from selected
devices (and discard current
pre-device desired settings)
Audit updates a number of the AP specific settings AWMS initially read off of the AP including
channel, power, antenna settings and SSL certifications. AWMS recommends using this setting
if APs have been updated outside of AWMS. Most settings on the APs/Devices Manage
configuration page are set to the values currently read off of the devices.
Reboot selected devices Reboots the selected devices. Use caution when rebooting devices because this can disrupt
wireless users.
Reprovision selected Dell
PowerConnect W devices
Configures the controller to send provisioning parameters such as radio, antenna, and IP
address settings to the selected APs. Please note that APs will be rebooted as part of
reprovisioning.
Upgrade firmware for
selected devices
Upgrades firmware for the selected devices. Refer to the firmware upgrade help under APs/
Devices > Manage configuration page for detailed help on Firmware job options.
Cancel firmware upgrade for
selected devices
Cancels any firmware upgrades that are scheduled or in progress for the selected APs.
Ignore selected devices (that
may be down for
maintenance)
Ignores selected APs, preventing AWMS from generating any alerts or including the AP in an up/
down count. The device's history is preserved but it will not be polled. Ignored devices can be
seen and taken out of ignore status by navigating to the New Devices configuration page and
selecting View Ignored Devices link at the bottom.
Delete selected devices from
AMP
Removes the selected APs from AWMS. The deletes will be performed in the background and
may take a minute to be removed from the list.
