3. Select the Parent folder.

4. Select Add.

Once a new folder has been created, devices can be moved into it using the Modify Devices link or when New Devices

are added into AirWave.

Configuring and Managing Devices

This section contains the following topics describing individual device configuration within device groups:

l "Moving a Device from Monitor Only to Manage Read/Write Mode" on page 157

l "Configuring AP Settings" on page 158

l "Setting a Maintenance Window for a Device" on page 165

l "Configuring Device Interfaces for Switches" on page 166

l "Individual Device Support and Firmware Upgrades" on page 169

While most device configuration settings can be efficiently managed by AirWave at a Group level, certain settings must

be managed at the individual device level. For example, because devices within a Group are often contiguous with one

another, and have overlapping coverage areas, it makes sense to manage these devices individually to avoid RF

interference.

Any changes made at an individual device level will automatically override Group level settings.

AirWave automatically saves the last 10 device configurations for reference and compliance purposes. Archived device

configurations are linked on the APs/Devices > Audit page and identified by name. By default, configuration is tracked

by the date and time it was created; device configurations are also archived by date.

It is not possible to push archived configurations to devices, but archived configurations can be compared to the current

configuration, the desired configuration, or to other archived configurations using the drop-down menus on the

APs/Devices > Audit page. This applies to startup or to running configuration files.

Compare two configurations to highlight the specific lines that are mismatched. The Audit page provides links to

AirWave pages where any mismatched settings can be configured.

These procedures assume you are familiar with the function buttons available to save, apply, revert, and so on. For details

on button functions, see Buttons and Icons in the

Moving a Device from Monitor Only to Manage Read/Write Mode

Once the device configuration status is Good on the APs/Devices > List page, or once you have verified all changes

that will be applied to the device on the APs/Devices > Audit page, you can safely shift the device from Monitor Only

mode to Manage Read/Write mode.

When a device is in Manage mode, AirWave will push a new configuration to the device in the event that the actual device

configuration does not match the AirWave configuration for that device.

To move a device from Monitor Only to Manage Read/Write mode, perform the following steps.

1. Go to the APs/Devices > List page and select the wrench icon next to the name of the AP to be shifted from

Monitor Only mode to Manage Read/Write mode. This directs you to the APs/Devices > Manage page.

2. Locate the General area as shown in Figure 98.
