Shared Secret when it appears in the APs/Devices > New list. The administrator also enables user roles to

administer the Dell PowerConnect W-Instant systems, makes any other changes in AirWave as necessary.

NOTE: The first Instant network that is added to AirWave includes the ‘golden’ configuration that is used as a template to provision

other Instant networks at other locations as the locations are brought online. It is recommended that the ‘golden’ configuration is

vali dated and pre-tested in a non-production environment prior to applying it to a production network. Users have the option to add

addi tional devices into managed mode automatically by setting the Automatically Authorized Virtual Controller Mode option to

Manage Read/Write on the AMP Setup > General page. Refer to the Dell PowerConnect W-AirWave 7.6 User Guide for more

i nformation. It is also important to note that any changes that are made to the template variables will have to be manually applied to

each deployed device.

Setting up Dell PowerConnect W-Instant Manually

When setting up Dell PowerConnect W-Instant manually, you will be requested to provide an Organization string,

the AirWave IP address, and a Shared Key. The steps to create this information are described in the following

sections.

Creating your Organization String

The Organization String is a set of colon-separated strings created by the AirWave administrator to accurately

represent the deployment of each Dell PowerConnect W-Instant system. This string is entered into the Dell

PowerConnect W-Instant UI by the on-site installer.

The format of the Organization String is Org:subfolder1:subfolder2... and so on, up to 31 characters long. Org, the

top-level string, is generally the name of your organization and is used to automatically generate the following (if not

already present) inAirWave:

l AirWave Role: Org Admin (initially disabled)

l AirWave User: Org Admin (assigned to the role Org Admin)

l Folder: Org (under the Top folder in AirWave)

l Configuration Group: Org

Additional strings in the Organization String are used to create a hierarchy of subfolders under the folder named Org:

l subfolder1 would be a folder under the Org folder

l subfolder2 would be a folder under subfolder1

To create your Organization String, consider the plan of how your Dell PowerConnect W-Instant IAPs are to be

physically distributed. As a best practice, the Organization String should mirror your company's geographical or

internal reporting structure. For example, if you plan to deploy Dell PowerConnect W-Instant in four stores in two

different cities for Acme Corporation, your Organization Strings might look like these:

l Acme:New York:Times Square Store

l Acme:New York:Queens Store

l Acme:San Francisco:Sunset Store

l Acme:San Francisco:SOMA Store

The Shared Key

The Shared key is used by the administrator to manually authorize the first Virtual Controller for an organization

that appears in the APs/Devices > New page in AirWave. Any string is acceptable, but this string must be the same

for all devices in your organization.

NOTE: Always ensure the protection of your organization’s shared secret. Knowledge of this shared secret, the organization string,

and communication protocol could allow a rogue device to masquerade as a Dell PowerConnect W -Instant device.
