INSTALLING 3WXM

 

 

This chapter describes how to install 3Com Wireless LAN Switch Manager

 

(3WXM).

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hardware

3WXM can be utilized with a client/server deployment or both client and

Requirements

monitoring services can be run on the same machine. The monitoring

 

service is used for collecting historical data and for managing the

 

network. The client requires communication with the monitoring service

 

for managing the network. Larger installations needing multiple

 

management clients should utilize the client/server approach with 3WXM

 

clients communicating with a separate monitoring service. When

 

combining client and monitoring services on the same machine, please

 

use the requirements indicated for the monitoring service.

 

The monitoring service is not required to configure and manage WX

 

switches. However, data provided by the monitoring service (in the

 

Monitor tab) is not available if the monitoring service is not installed.

Hardware

Table 3 shows the minimum and recommended requirements to run the
