Once a new folder has been created, dev

ices can be moved into it using the Modify Devices link or when New

Devices are added into AWMS.

Configuring and Managing Devices

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

 “Moving a Device from Monitor Only to Manage Read/Write Mode” on page 158

 “Configuring AP Settings” on page 159

 “Configuring Device Interfaces for Cisco Catalyst Switches” on page 165

 “Individual Device Support and Firmware Upgrades” on page 169

While most device configuration settings

are managed by AWMS at a Group level to enable efficient change

management, 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 would not make

sense to configure RF channel settings at a Group level. Instead, channel settings are managed at an individual

device level to avoid RF interference between two or more devices.

AWMS automatically saves the last 10 device configur

ations 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; devices are also archived by date.

It is not possible to push archive

d 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 hi

ghlight the specific lines that are mismatched. The Audit page provides links to

the AWMS pages where any mismatched settings can be configured.

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.

To move a device from Mo

nitor to Manage Read/Write mode, perform the following steps.

1. Navigate to the APs/Devic

es > List page and click 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 Ge

neral area as shown in Figure 107.

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

Note: 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” on page 27.

Note: Once a device is in Manage mode, AWMS will push a new configuration to the device in the event that the actual device

configuration does not match the AMP configuration for that device.
