2. Select the group and folder to which the device will be added from the drop-down menu (the default group
appears at the top of the Group listing). Devices cannot be added to a Global Group; groups designated as
Global Groups cannot contain access points.
3. Select either the Monitor Only or the Manage Read/Write radio button and select Add.
At this point, you can go to the APs/Devices > List page and select the folder(s) to which you have assigned
one or more devices to verify that your device has been properly assigned. If you wish to assign a device to the
Ignored page, or delete it entirely from AWMS, go to step4.
4. If you do not wish to manage or monitor a discovered device, you may select the device(s) from the list and
select either Ignore Selected Devices or Delete Selected Devices. If you choose to Ignore the devices, they
will not be displayed in the APs/Devices > New list, even if they are discovered in subsequent scans. You can
view a list of all Ignored devices on the APs/Devices > Ignored page. If you choose to Delete the device, it will
be listed on the APs/Devices > New list if discovered by AWMS in a subsequent scan. Refer to “Assigning
Devices to the Ignored Page” on page116.
Manually Adding Individual Devices
Some deployment situations may require that you manually add devices to AWMS. You can add devices
manually by uploading a CSV file, or from the Device Setup > Add page.
This section describes the following procedures:
Adding Devices with the Device Setup > Add Page
Adding Multiple Devices from a CSV File
Adding Universal Devices
Adding Devices with the Device Setup > Add Page
Manually adding devices from the Device Setup > Add page to AWMS is an option for adding all device types.
You only need to select device vendor information from a dropdown menu for Cisco and Dell PowerConnect W
devices, and AWMS automatically finds and adds specific make and model information into its database.
Perform these steps to manually add devices to AWMS:
1. The first step to add a device manually is to select the vendor and model. Browse to the Device Setup > Add
page and select the vendor and model of the device to add. Figure 70 illustrates this page.
NOTE: If you select Manage Select Devices, AWMS automatically overwrites existing device settings with the specified Group
settings. Dell PowerConnect W strongly recommends placing newly discovered devices in Monitor mode until you can confirm
that all group configuration settings are appropriate for that device.
