Display the Main When you start 3WXM client and log onto 3WXM Services, a network Window plan is displayed by the 3WXM client. (See Figure 2 on page 25.)

„Organizer panel displays a network tree representing your WLAN’s devices and configurations on those devices. You can use it to navigate to Policy configurations, Equipment within your network, and network Sites.

When you select a device or configuration in the tree, the context-sensitive information about the device or configuration is displayed to the right in the Content and Information panels.

„Content panel displays context-sensitive information about the device or configuration selected from the tree in the Organizer panel. From the Content panel, you can view 3Com devices and their status, verify 3Com device configurations in the network plan and in the network, and display event logs and Rogue detection results.

„Alerts panel displays a summary of alerts, including network and configuration verification, Rogue detection, and local and network changes. Click on a summary to display details.

The Lock icon indicates whether the network plan has been locked. When you make changes to a network plan, 3WXM locks it on the server. The lock prevents other clients who open the network plan from modifying it while you are making changes. The network plan remains locked until you save your changes, after which the lock is released.
