Managing Network Plans 57

To open a network plan:

1Establish a connection to the 3WXM Services host on which the network plan is saved.

You can do this by restarting 3WXM or selecting File > Open, and then entering the IP address of the 3WXM Services host in the 3WXM Services Connection dialog box.

2After the connection is established with the 3WXM Services host, select File > Switch Network Plan.

If any changes were made to the currently loaded network plan, you are prompted to save them and close the file. The Switch Network Plan dialog box appears.

3Select the network plan you want to open and click Next.

3WXM establishes a new connection to the host running 3WXM Services and loads the specified network plan.

Importing a Network You can import objects from another network plan into the currently Plan open plan. When you import objects from another plan, objects are

added to the currently open plan as follows:

„If an object (object name) exists in the plan you are importing but not in the open plan, the object is added to the open plan.

„If an object (object name) exists in both plans, the copy of the object in the imported plan replaces the object in the open plan.

If both plans have the same floor name, the floor in the plan you are importing completely replaces the floor of the same name in the other plan.

3Com recommends that you save a backup copy of the plan before importing objects from another plan. To save a backup copy, you can use the File > Save As option.

To import a plan:

1In the main 3WXM window, select File > Import Network Plan.

2Select the network plan you want to import, from the Select Plan drop-down list.
