l "Adding the First Instant Device to AirWave" on page 5
Verifying the Shared Secret

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.
Adding the First Instant Device to AirWave
After the first Instant device receives the AirWave server information from the DHCP server or after AirWave server
information is manually configured, the Instant device appear as a new device in AirWave As shown, this virtual
controller is added in Monitor Only mode.
