The most simple site configuration allows for one device group for each AP/adapter model, selecting the default configuration profile and the default RF Management profile for that model.
A more complex deployment allows for more than one device group per AP model. This makes use of different profile features and/or a unique RF Management profile for each device group. With this more complex deployment, create a device group for any combination of configuration features and RF configurations.
You have the option to discover AP/adapters before creating a device group. However, if you create the device group first, discovered devices that match the configuration profile are listed within the Create Device Group dialog, allowing you to simply add each AP/adapter to the device group. Furthermore, if you create a device group and an adoption rule, your newly discovered AP/adapters will be automatically added to the correct device group without your intervention.
