Description
Puts the selected devices into Planned Maintenance. During the maintenance mode, no AP
Down triggers will be deployed on these devices. Users will not be able to delete folders that
contain devices in Planned Maintenance. The devices in Planned Maintenance will show the
Up status, but will not be tracked in historical graphs and logs as Up.
Enables or disables the radios on the selected device. Does not apply Cisco IOS APs.
Bulk configuration for per-thin AP settings, previously configured on the Group LWAPP AP
tab, can be performed from Modify Devices on the APs/Devices List page. Make changes to
LWAPP AP groups, including the option that was under Modify Devices.
Polls selected devices for current user count and bandwidth data; overrides default poll
settings for the group. Polling numerous devices may create a temporary performance load
on your AirWave server.
Fetches the current configuration from the device and compares it to the desired AirWave
configuration. The audit action updates the Configuration Status.
NOTE: In versions of AirWave prior to 7.3, the Audit button appeared on Groups > List for
groups with audit disabled. Now, if a group has audit disabled for its devices, AirWave does
not show the Audit button in the Modify devices list.
Takes you to the Reports > Definitions page where you can define or run a custom report for
selected devices. For more details and a procedure, see
239.
Update changes the credentials AirWave uses to communicate with the device. It does not
change the credentials on the AP.
Automate the manual action of putting the selected devices into Manage mode at once so
that changes can be applied, and after the maintenance period is over, the devices
automatically revert to Monitor-Only mode.
Maintenance windows can be set as a one-time or recurring event.
Deletes all maintenance windows set for these devices.
Audit updates a number of the AP-specific settings that AirWave initially read off of the AP
including channel, power, antenna settings and SSL certifications. AirWave recommends
using this setting if APs have been updated outside of AirWave. Most settings on the
APs/Devices Manage configuration page are set to the values currently read off of the
devices.
Reboots the selected devices. Use caution when rebooting devices because this can disrupt
wireless users.
Configures the controller to send provisioning parameters such as radio, antenna, and IP
address settings to the selected APs. Please note that APs will be rebooted as part of
reprovisioning.
Select the down device that will be replaced and view the list of AirWave devices that match
the name or IP address of the selected device. The down devices can be replaced with any
device in the New Devices list or in the current folder or group.
Upgrades firmware for the selected devices. Refer to the firmware upgrade help under
APs/Devices > Manage configuration page for detailed help on Firmware job options.
