The screen combines the settings that were managed from the Configuration > Sensor Only Settings and the Configuration > Sensor Operation screens of the legacy user interface.

Operation Tab

The Sensor Operation tab of the Sensor Manager screen enables you to configure the following parameters.

For more information, see Operation Tab.

Settings Tab

The Settings tab of the Sensor Manager screen enables you to create and manage Sensor Profiles. Sensor profiles are a set of sensor configurations that can be applied to any stand-alone sensor (a sensor that is not adopted by any controller) managed by your AirDefense server. For more information, see Settings Tab.

Overriding Configuration Settings

The Enable Configuration switch is only available at the top most node of the Structure & Tags pane. Configurations can only be applied when this switch is set to ON. The top most node is always named ADSP and you must use this switch to apply the selected configuration through out the Extreme AirDefense system.

By default, any level in the Structure & Tags pane always inherits configuration from the level above it unless explicitly overridden.

Since Extreme AirDefense manages its devices using a hierarchy that is configured using the Structure & Tags pane, all the nodes under the top ADSP node inherit the configurations set at that node. However, you can override the inherited configuration at any level in the hierarchy.

To override the inherited settings, in the Structure & Tags pane, select the node where you want to override the inherited configuration. Then from the control, select the Override option. Note that the Inherited from : control always displays the name of the level from which the configuration settings are inherited from. Use this information to orient your self on how the configurations are inherited.

Change the configuration for the selected level as required and then use the APPLY button to implement the modified configuration settings. These settings will now be inherited by all levels below the selected level unless a sub-level has been explicitly overridden.
