4. If you do not wish to manage or monitor a discovered device, you may select the device(s) from the list and
click either Ignore Selected Devices or Delete Selected Devices. If you choose to Ignore the devices, they will
not be displayed in the APs/Devices > New list, even if they are discovered in subsequent scans. You can view
a list of all Ignored devices on the APs/Devices > Ignored page. If you choose to Delete the device, it will be
listed on the APs/Devices > New list if discovered by AWMS in a subsequent scan.
Manually Adding Individual Devices
Some deployment situations may require that you manually add devices to AWMS. You can add devices
manually by uploading a CSV file, or from the Device Setup > Add page.
This section describes the fo
llowing procedures:
 Adding Devices with the Device Setup > Add Page
 Adding Multiple Devices from a CSV File
 Adding Universal Devices
Adding Devices with the Device Setup > Add Page
Manually adding devices from the Device Setup > Add page to AWMS is an option for adding all device types.
You only need to select device vendor information from a drop down menu for Cisco and Aruba controllers and/
or APs, and AWMS automatically finds and adds specific make and model information into its database.
Perform these steps to manually add devices to AWMS:
1. The first step to add a device manually is to select the vendor and model. Browse to the Device Setup
> Add
page and select the vendor and model of the device to add. Figure 83 illustrates this page.

Note: If you select Manage Select Devices, AWMS automatically overwrites existing device settings with the specified Group
settings. Aruba strongly recommends placing newly discovered devices in Monitor mode until you can confirm that all group
configuration settings are appropriate for that device.
