In the example configuration shown above, the following group and folder structure is created on AirWave:
l A group called Acme is created.
l A top-level folder called Acme is created.
l Two sub-folders called Store1 and Store2 are created which will contain the IAPs.
Verifying the Shared Secret
After the role is enabled, the Dell Networking W-Instant device will appear in the APs/Devices > New page, the
admin user should mouse over the value under the Type column to verify the device’s Shared Secret with
AirWave, as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2: Mouse over the Type column to view the Shared Secret
If the incoming Shared Secret matches the one you created, select Add, then Save and Apply in the
confirmation page.
With an Organization specified, you do not have to select any Group or Folder from the drop-down menus on the
APs/Devices > New page. In fact, if you do change the Group/Folder drop-down menus, all Organization-specified
Virtual Controllers will ignore these values and will use the folder/group values from the Organization String instead. If
you select Add for some non-Dell Networking W-Instant devices as well as some Organization-specified Virtual
Controllers, the drop-down menus will apply to the non-IAPs but not the Virtual Controllers. If you have any Virtual
Controllers with no Organization specified the first time they communicate with AirWave then they will be placed in the
Folder/Group drop-box values you have selected.
Completing the Setup
After the setup is completed, determine whether the devices in your groups will be managed using template-
based configuration or using Instant Config, and then refer to the following sections.
l Using Template Configuration on page 15
l Using Instant Config on page 23
Devices will revert to Monitor Only mode when you change group configuration from Instant Config to Template based.
