Create Your MAPs 99

Create Your MAPs Depending on how your MAPs are connected to a WX switch, you need to create a direct connect MAP or a distributed MAP in your network plan in 3WXM. A direct connect MAP is connected to the wired network through a direct 10/100 Ethernet connection to a WX switch. A distributed MAP is connected to the WX switch indirectly through other Layer 2 or Layer 3 wired networking devices.
