Manually Adding Individual Devices; Adding Devices With The Device Setup > Add Page - Dell PowerConnect W-Airwave User Manual

Once you have added several devices to the Group, and verified that no unexpected or undesired configuration
changes will be made to the devices, you can begin to put the devices in Manage Read/Write mode using the
APs/Devices > Manage or the Modify these devices link on any list page that contains devices.
Perform the following steps to add a newly discovered device to a group:
1. Browse to the APs/Devices > New page. The APs/Devices > New page displays all newly discovered devices,
the related controller (when known/applicable) and the device vendor, model, LAN MAC Address, IP Address,
and the date/time of discovery.
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 AMP, go to step 4.
NOTE: If you select Manage Select Devices, AMP automatically overwrites existing device settings with the specified Group
settings. It is strongly recommended to place newly discovered devices in Monitor Only mode until you can confirm that all group
configuration settings are appropriate for that device.
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 AMP in a subsequent scan. Refer to
Devices to the Ignored Page" on

Manually Adding Individual Devices

Some deployment situations may require that you manually add devices to AMP. 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 AMP is an option for all device types. You only
need to select device vendor information from a drop down menu for Cisco and Dell PowerConnect W-Series
devices, and AMP automatically finds and adds specific make and model information into its database.
Perform these steps to manually add devices to AMP:
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.
