20CHAPTER 1: GETTING STARTED

By default, a username and password are not required to access 3WXM Services from 3WXM client. You can configure user accounts for administrative, provisioning, and monitoring access. (See “3WXM Access Control” on page 21.)

2You can optionally configure the following:

„Select the arrow buttons to change the HTTPS Server Port, which is the port on which 3WXM Services listens for requests from 3WXM client.

„Select the arrow buttons to change the SNMP Trap Receiver Port, which is the port on which SNMP traps are received. Also select the trap type (SNMPv1 or SNMPv3) you want 3WXM Services to receive from WX switches.

On each switch in the network plan, you must enable notifications and configure 3WXM Services as a notification target (trap receiver).

3WXM Services does not start listening for SNMP notifications from switches until you save the network plan.

„From the Key Store area of the window, specify security settings.

„From the Access Control area, define user accounts. For more information about access control, see “3WXM Access Control” on page 21.

(The Auto-Config IP Subnet Matching option is used for field replacement of WX switches. For information, see the “Configuring WX Switches Remotely” chapter in the Wireless LAN Switch Manager Reference Manual.)

To change these settings, use the Service Settings tab of the 3WXM

Services Setup dialog.

To select monitoring settings

All monitoring options are enabled by default. You do not need to enable them and you do not need to specify the switches you want to monitor. However, for 3WXM Services to receive trap data from WX switches, SNMP notifications must be enabled and 3WXM Services must be configured as a notification target on each of the switches.

To start gathering data for monitoring, deploy your configuration to the network. For information about deploying your configuration, see “Deploy Your Configuration” on page 153.
