 Group-level GUI config for organizations who have two or more configuration strategies  Configuration changes are pushed to the controller via SSH with no reboot required. AWMS only supports configuration of the settings which a master controller would push to the standby / local controllers (global features). AWMS supports all master, master-standby, and master-local deployments. All settings for Profiles, Dell PowerConnect W AP Groups, Servers and Roles are supported, as is the AOS WLAN Wizard. Controller IP addresses, VLANs, and interfaces are not supported, nor are Advanced Services with the exception of VPN and IP Mobility. Other features of Dell PowerConnect W Configuration in AWMS include the following:  AWMS understands AOS license dependencies.  AWMS supports a variety of Dell PowerConnect W firmware versions, so profiles / fields which are not supported by an older version will not be configured on controllers running that version.  You can provision thin APs from the AP/Devices > Manage page. You can move APs into Dell PowerConnect W AP Groups from the Modify Devices option on the APs/Devices > List page.  You can configure AP names as AP Overrides.  Values for specific fields may be overwritten for individual controllers on the controller's APs/Devices > Manage page. Changes to dependency between the AMP group and folders help customers who want to use the folder structure to manage configuration; however, users are now able to see (but not access) group and folder paths for which they do not have permissions. For more detailed information about this feature, as well as steps to transition from template-based configuration to web-based configuration, refer to additional chapters in this user guide. For known issues and details on the AOS version supported by each release, refer to the AWMS Release Notes.
