Modifying Multiple Devices
W-AirWave provides a very powerful utility that modifies all APs or a subset of access points unrelated to the
typical W-AirWave group construct. This utility provides the ability to delete simultaneously multiple devices,
migrate multiple devices to another group and/or folder, update credentials and optimize channels. Perform
these steps to modify multiple devices.
1. To modify multiple devices, go to one of the following pages with a device list:
l APs/Devices > List
l APs/Devices > Up
l APs/Devices > Down
l APs/Devices > Mismatched
l Groups > Monitor
Each of these pages displays a list of devices. Controller monitoring pages also have lists of their thin APs
which can be modified using Modify Devices.
2. Select Modify Devices to make the checkboxes at the left of all devices appear. In addition, a new section
appears in this page location to display various settings that can be configured for multiple devices at one
time (some operations cannot be performed on the selected devices). Figure 49 illustrates this page.

3. Select one or more devices that are to share the configurations. Select the checkbox by each device you want
to modify.
4. Click the Change Device Group/Folder drop-down menu and select any of the supported changes. Table
71 describes these actions and controls. Any action you take applies to all selected devices.

the destination group or folder for the devices. Click Move and then select Apply
All to save your changes.
