188CHAPTER 5: CONFIGURING WX SYSTEM AND ADMINISTRATIVE PARAMETERS

Configuring Basic To configure basic WX properties, do the following steps.

WX Properties

1Access the WX Switch wizard for the switch. (See “Accessing the WX Switch Wizard” on page 187.)

2Select System and Administrative at the top of the wizard, if not already selected.

3Select WX Properties from the organizer list on the left side of the page, if not already selected.

4In the WX Name box, type the name of the WX switch (1 to 256 alphanumeric characters, with no spaces or tabs).

Within a network plan (and all Mobility Domains), each WX must have a unique name.

5In the WX Model list, select the WX switch model.

6In the Software Version list, select the version of Mobility System Software (MSS) you expect to run on the WX switch.

7To enable the switch to be managed by 3WXM, select Managed. Until this option is selected, you cannot deploy the configuration you create in 3WXM to the actual switch in the network.

CAUTION: After you select Managed to enable management of the switch by 3WXM, do not change this option unless advised to do so by 3Com technical support. If you change a WX switch to an unmanaged state in a network plan, all network operations (polling) stop for that WX switch. If you change back to a managed state, the entire configuration of the switch is replaced with the settings from the network plan, which can result in loss of connectivity to the switch.

8In the Serial Number box, type the serial number of the switch.

9Select the wiring closet you want 3WXM to place the WX switch in. If no wiring closets are defined yet or you do not want to place the WX switch in a closet at this time, select Not Assigned.

10In the VLAN/IP list, select the VLAN IP address used by the 3WXM client to connect to the WX.

For more information about VLANs, see “Configuring VLANs” on page 189.

11In the Enable Password box, type the enable password for the WX.
