Introduction
AOS is the operating system, software suite, and application engine that operates Dell PowerConnect W mobility
controllers and centralizes control over the entire mobile environment. The AOS wizards, command-line
interface (CLI), and the AOS WebUI are the primary means used to configure and deploy AOS. For a complete
description of AOS, refer to the
Dell PowerConnect ArubaOS User Guide
for your release.
The Dell PowerConnect W Configuration feature in the AirWave Wireless Management Suite consolidates AOS
configuration and pushes global Dell PowerConnect W configurations from one utility. This chapter introduces
the components and initial setup of Dell PowerConnect W Configuration with the following topics:
“Requirements, Restrictions, and AOS Support in AWMS” on page
