Specifying Default Device Settings for the Coverage Area

You can optionally specify the WX switch or MAP models that 3WXM uses when calculating the devices to include in the coverage area.

1To change the WX switch model, select the model from the WX Model list.

2To change the default MAP model, select the model from the Default AP Model list.

If this is a shared area (more than one radio technology), only dual-radio models are listed. If the area is not shared, all models are listed.

3To change the MAP connection type, select the type from the AP Connection Type list:

„Direct—MAPs are directly attached to dedicated WX switch ports.

„Distributed—MAPs can be indirectly attached through intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 devices.

„Distributed (Auto)—MAPs can be indirectly attached through intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 devices. They receive their configuration automatically using a profile that assigns a Distributed MAP number and name to the MAP from among the unused valid MAP numbers available on the switch. The profile also configures the MAP with the MAP and radio parameter settings in the profile. See “Viewing and Changing the Auto-DAP Profile” on page 269 for information on creating a profile.
