6Click Generate Work Order. The work order is saved in the directory

overwritten.

A browser window opens to display the work order in HTML format.
Install the Equipment
After you print the work order from 3WXM, you can distribute it to your
installers. The work order shows where to install the 3Com equipment. If
you have specified third-party APs in the network plan, those will be
considered in the work order, too.
For more information about installing the equipment, see “Equipment
Installation” on page 42.
What’s Next? A 3WXM network plan can support both RF Auto-Tuning and RF
Planning techniques at the same time. You can use RF Auto-Tuning to
meet the demands of rapid network changes that can be caused by a
greater or lesser number of users, or by a physical blockage of MAPs. You
are alerted when changes occur in your network of this nature.
To fine tune your network’s RF coverage area and performance, see
Chapter 8, “Optimizing a Network Plan,” on page 99.
To deploy your network plan and enable and configure monitoring,
see “Managing and Monitoring Your Network” on page143.
