The profiles available depend on the Mobility Domain you selected in step 31. The profile you select applies to all radios associated with the coverage area. If you type the name of a radio profile that does not already exist, 3WXM creates it.

33In the Wiring Closet list, select the wiring closet that contains the WX switch or switches to be connected to the shared MAPs.

If the MAPs will be directly connected to WX switches, a wiring closet is required. If all the MAPs in the coverage area will be indirectly connected to WX switches through the network, a wiring closet is not required.

34In the Redundant Wiring Closet list, select the wiring closet that will provide redundant connection to the MAPs. This is required for directly connected MAPs, if you require the MAPs to have redundant connections. Otherwise, this is not required.

35Click Finish to complete the wizard and create the coverage area. The coverage area is now displayed on your floor.
