Enabling AirWave to Manage Your Devices

Once AirWave is installed and active on the network, the next task is to define the basic settings that allow
AirWave to communicate with and manage your devices. Device-specific firmware files are often required or are
highly desirable. Furthermore, the use of Web Auth bundles is advantageous for deployment of Cisco WLC wireless
LAN controllers when they are present on the network.
