Create Your MAPs 101
Create Your MAPs Depending on how your MAPs are connected to a WX switch, you need
to create a direct connect MAP or a distributed MAP in your network plan
in 3WXM. A direct connect MAP is connected to the wired network
through a direct 10/100 Ethernet connection to a WX switch. A
distributed MAP is connected to the WX switch indirectly through other
Layer 2 or Layer 3 wired networking devices.
To create a directly connected MAP in 3WXM
1Access the Create Direct-Connect AP wizard:
aSelect the Configuration tool bar option.
bIn the Organizer panel, click the plus sign next to the WX switch.
cClick the plus sign next to Wireless.
dSelect Access Points.
eIn the Task List panel, select Direct-Connect AP.
2Select the WX port the MAP will be connected to from the Available Ports
drop-down list.
Configuring a directly connected MAP in a port converts the port to an
MAP access port. If the port is a statically configured member of a VLAN,
the port is removed from the VLAN.
3Click Next.
4Select the MAP model from the MAP Model list.

box and select the radio type from the list:
11a—802.11a

11g—802.11b/g
6Click Next.
The non-editable number (1 or 2) indicates the radio number on the MAP.
