Importing Devices for Instant Config
The section "Enabling Instant Config" on page 23 describes how to set up an Instant Config group. Devices that
are added to this group can be managed using Instant Config.
When importing Instant devices in bulk to a new group, AirWave randomly selects the first device that it encounters and
uses that device as the "golden" configuration. The configuration is used across all other Instant networks. As a
recommended best practice, select a device that can be used as the golden configuration, and add it to the group
before adding any others. New devices that are added after the golden configuration device will include the
configuration from that golden device.
Add Newly Discovered Devices to a Group
1. Select the New Devices link in the header to launch the APs/Devices >New page where information about
all newly discovered devices is displayed Figure 16). You might launch a different page if you specified a
different location while defining a scan set.
The information on this page includes the related controller (when known/applicable), the device type
(including vendor and model), the LAN MAC Address, the IP address, and the date/time of discovery. See
Figure 16.
