Place Your | You will need to unpack and physically install your WX switches and |
Equipment | MAPs. For information about installing your equipment, see “Equipment |

Configure Initial | After installing a WX switch, you must prepare it for configuration and |
WX Switch | management by 3WXM, by configuring IP connectivity between the WX |
Connectivity | and 3WXM. Use the Web Quick Start (if available), or enter the |
| quickstart command at the CLI prompt. |
| For more information about configuring initial WX switch connectivity, |
| see the Wireless LAN Switch and Controller Quick Start Guide. |
| An administrative certificate is also required on the WX switch to enable |
| management access by 3WXM. If the switch does not already have |
| certificates, MSS automatically generates them the first time you boot |
| using MSS Version 4.2 or later. You do not need to install certificates |
| unless you want to replace the ones automatically generated by MSS. (For |
| more information, see the “Certificates Automatically Generated by |
| MSS” section in the “Managing Keys and Certificates” chapter of the |
| Wireless LAN Switch and Controller Configuration Guide.) |
