NOTE: Only Dell PowerConnect W AP Groups, AP Overrides, and WLANs contain custom-created items in the navigation pane.

in Device Setup or Groups tabs, depending on whether global or group configuration is enabled.

Dell PowerConnect W AP Groups Section

A Dell PowerConnect W AP Group is a collection of configuration profiles that define specific settings on Dell
PowerConnect W-Series controllers and the devices that they govern. A Dell PowerConnect W AP Group references
multiple configuration profiles, and in turn links to multiple WLANs.
Navigate to the Dell PowerConnect W Configuration > Dell PowerConnect W AP Groups page. The figure
below illustrates one example of this page.

NOTE: Dell PowerConnect W AP Groups are not to be confused with conventional AirWave device groups. AirWave supports both
group types, and both are viewable on the Groups > List page when so configured.
Dell PowerConnect W AP Groups have the following characteristics:
Any Dell PowerConnect W-Series controller can support multiple Dell PowerConnect W AP Groups.
l
Dell PowerConnect W AP Groups are assigned to folders, and folders define visibility. Using conventional
l
AirWave folders to define visibility, Dell PowerConnect W AP Groups can provide visibility to some or many
components while blocking visibility to other users for more sensitive components, such as SSIDs. Navigate to
the Users pages to define folder visibility, and refer to
page 25.
You can import a controller configuration file from ArubaOS for Dell PowerConnect W AP Group deployment in
l
AirWave.
