The following example shows how to configure the port number of the AMP server:
24:de:c6:cf:63:60 (config) # ams-ip 10.65.182.15:65535
24:de:c6:cf:63:60 (config) # end
24:de:c6:cf:63:60# commit apply
Configuring Organization String
The Organization string is a set of colon-separated strings created by the W-AirWave administrator to
accurately represent the deployment of each W-IAP. This string is defined by the installation personnel on the
site.
You can use any of the following strings:
l AMP Role—"Org Admin" (initially disabled)
l AMP User—"Org Admin" (assigned to the role "Org Admin")
l Folder—"Org" (under the Top folder in AMP)
l Configuration Group—"Org"
You can also assign additional strings to create a hierarchy of subfolders under the folder named "Org". For
example:
n subfolder1 for a folder under the "Org" folder
n subfolder2 for a folder under subfolder1
Shared Key
The Shared Secret key is an optional key used by the administrator to manually authorize the first VC for an
organization. Any string is acceptable.
Configuring W-AirWave Information
You can configure W-AirWave information by using the Instant UI or the CLI.
In the Instant UI
To configure W-AirWave information:
1. Click the W-AirWave Set Up Now link of the main window. The System window is displayed with the W-
AirWave parameters on the Admin tab.
2. Enter the name of your organization in the Organization name text box. The name defined for the
organization is displayed under the Groups tab in the W-AirWave UI.
3. Enter the IP address or domain name of the W-AirWave server in the AirWave server text box.
4. Enter the IP address or domain name of a backup W-AirWave server in the AirWave backup server text
box. The backup server provides connectivity when the primary server is down. If the W-IAP cannot send
data to the primary server, the VC switches to the backup server automatically.
5. Enter the shared key in the Shared key text box and reconfirm. This shared key is used for configuring the
first W-IAP in theInstant network.
6. Click OK.
In the CLI
To configure W-AirWave information:
(Instant AP)(config)# organization <name>
(Instant AP)(config)# ams-ip <IP-address or domain name>
(Instant AP)(config)# ams-backup-ip <IP-address or domain name>
(Instant AP)(config)# ams-key <key>
(Instant AP)(config)# end
(Instant AP)# commit apply
