User's Guide

Devices cannot be fully managed by AirDefense until the configurations are applied.
Device Access
Device Access is used to specify the passwords to access devices and specify the interfaces that can be
used to access devices.
Note
You must define how to communicate with devices. This is done under Configuration >
Appliance Platform > Communication Settings.
There are two tabs used to configure Device Access:
• Password
• Interfaces
You may configure Device Access at the appliance network level all the way down to the floor network
level, but you should always configure Device Access at the appliance level. Any network level below the
appliance level will inherit the configuration. If you need to have a dierent configuration below the
appliance level, use the Override settings option.
Note
The Override settings option is available when you select (highlight) a network level below
the appliance level. Use the Expand button to reveal the other levels.
To configure Device Access, you must first select (highlight) ADSP from the tree and then enable
configuration by selecting the Enable configuration checkbox. Then, use the Passwords and Interfaces
tabs to configure Device Access.
The Copy settings to all appliances button will copy the defined Device Access to all appliances in your
system.
Note
You must have a Central Management license in order to copy settings to all appliances.
