Configuring AirGroup-CPPM Interface in W-Instant
Configure the AirGroup and CPPM interface to allow an AirGroupW-IAP and CPPM to

RADIUS server that is used by the AirGroup RADIUS client. The following steps are required for
this configuration:
1. Create a RADIUS server.
2. Assign a server to AirGroup.
3. Configure CPPM to enforce registration.
Creating a RADIUS Server
Navigate to the PEF link at the top right corner of the Dell W-Series Instant UI to configure an
external RADIUS server for a wireless network.
