2. Select Add, then enter the device communications and location settings for the new device on the Add page
(see Table 73 for information about the settings).
3. In the Location field, select the appropriate Group and Folder for the device.
4. At the bottom of the page, select either the Monitor Only or Management read/write radio button. The
choice depends on whether or not you wish to overwrite the Group settings for the device being added. For
more information and a detailed procedure, see "Management Modes" on page 128.
If you select Manage read/write, W-AirWave overwrites existing device settings with the Groups settings. Place newly
discovered devices in Monitor read/only mode to enable auditing of actual settings instead of Group Policy settings.
5. Select Add to finish adding the devices to the network.
Adding Multiple Devices from a CSV File
You can add devices in bulk from a CSV file to W-AirWave. Here you also have the option of specifying vendor
name only, and W-AirWave will automatically determine the correct type while bringing up the device. If your CSV
file includes make and model information, W-AirWave will add the information provided in the CSV file as it did
before. It will not override what you have specified in this file in any way.
The CSV list must contain the following columns:
l IP Address
l SNMP Community String
l Name
l Type
l Auth Password
l SNMPv3 Auth Protocol
l Privacy Password
l SNMPv3 Privacy Protocol
l SNMPv3 user name
l Telnet user name
l Telnet Password
l Enable Password
