Dell PowerConnect W AP Groups are not to be confused with conventional AWMS device groups.
AWMS supports
both group types and both are viewable on the
Groups > List
page when so configured.
Dell PowerConnect W AP Groups have the following characteristics:
Any Dell PowerConnect W controller can support multiple Dell PowerConnect W AP Groups.
Dell PowerConnect W AP Groups are assigned to folders, and folders define visibility. Using conventional
AWMS folders to define visibility, Dell PowerConnect W AP Groups can provide visibility to some or many
components while blocking visibility to other users for more sensitive components, such as SSIDs. Navigate to
the
Users
pages to define folder visibility, and refer to
“Visibility in Dell PowerConnect W Configuration” on
page 33
.
You can import a controller configuration file from AOS for Dell PowerConnect W AP Group deployment in
AWMS.
NOTE:
Only
Dell PowerConnect W AP Groups
,
AP Overrides
, and
WLANs
contain custom-created items in the navigation pane.
