NOTE: When you first configure AirWave, there is only one default group labeled Access Points. If you have no other groups
configured, refer to

Configuring Basic Group Settings

The first default device group that AirWave sets up is the Access Points group, but you can use this procedure to
add and configure any device group. Perform these steps to configure basic group settings, then continue to
additional procedures to define additional settings as required.
1. Go to the Groups > List page. Existing device groups appear on this page.
2. To create a new group, select Add. Enter a group name and select Add. The Groups > Basic page appears.
To edit an existing device group, select the manage (wrench) icon next to the group. The Groups > Basic page
appears. If you mouse over an existing group's wrench, a popup menu allows you to select Basic, Templates,
Security, SSIDs, AAA Servers, Radio, Dell PowerConnect W Config or Cisco WLC Config to edit those pages
as desired, as illustrated in
