Chapter 2 Using Dell PowerConnect W Configuration in Daily Operations Introduction This chapter presents the more common tasks or concepts after initial setup of Dell PowerConnect W Configuration is complete, as described in the section "Setting Up Initial Dell PowerConnect W Configuration" on page 21. This chapter emphasizes frequent procedures as follows:  General Dell PowerConnect W AP Groups Procedures and Guidelines  General WLAN Guidelines  General Controller Procedures and Guidelines  Supporting APs with Dell PowerConnect W Configuration  Visibility in Dell PowerConnect W Configuration  Using AWMS to Deploy Dell PowerConnect W APs for the First Time NOTE: For a complete reference on all Dell PowerConnect W Configuration pages, field descriptions, and certain additional procedures that are more specialized, refer to Appendix A, "Dell PowerConnect W Configuration Reference" on page 37. General Dell PowerConnect W AP Groups Procedures and Guidelines Guidelines and Pages for Dell PowerConnect W AP Groups in Configuration The fields and default settings for Dell PowerConnect W AP Groups are described in "Dell PowerConnect W AP Groups" on page 38 in the Appendix. The following guidelines govern the configuration and use of Dell PowerConnect W AP Groups across AWMS:  Dell PowerConnect W AP Groups function with standard AWMS groups that contain them. Add Dell PowerConnect W AP Groups to standard AWMS groups. Additional procedures in this document explain their interoperability.  APs can belong to a controller's AWMS group or to an AWMS group by themselves.  All configurations of Dell PowerConnect W AP Groups must be pushed to Dell PowerConnect W controllers to become active on the network.  Additional dynamics between master, standby master, and local controllers still apply. In this case, refer to "Using Master, Standby Master, and Local Controllers" on page 29. The following pages in AWMS govern the configuration and use of Dell PowerConnect W AP Groups or standard device groups across AWMS:  The Dell PowerConnect W Configuration navigation pane displays standard AOS components and your custom-configured Dell PowerConnect W AP Groups, WLANs, and AP Overrides.  You define or modify Dell PowerConnect W AP Groups on the Dell PowerConnect W Configuration page. Click Dell PowerConnect W AP Groups from the navigation pane.  With Global configuration enabled, you select Dell PowerConnect W AP Groups to associate with AMP (AWMS) Groups with the Groups > Dell PowerConnect W Config page.  You modify devices in Dell PowerConnect W AP Groups with the APs/Devices > List page, clicking Modify Devices. This is the page where you assign devices to a given group and Dell PowerConnect W AP Group.
