To create a network plan:
1Connect to a host running 3WXM Services. When you start 3WXM, the 3WXM main window and the 3WXM Services Connection dialog box appear.
2In the 3WXM Services Connection dialog box, enter the IP address of a host running 3WXM Services, optionally enter a user name and password, and click Next.
If the 3WXM Service is installed on the same machine as the one you are using to run 3WXM, enter 127.0.0.1 as the IP address. This is a standard IP loopback address.
3After a connection is established to the specified 3WXM Services host, select File > New. The Create Network Plan wizard appears.
