Connecting to 3WXM Services

If a firewall is enabled on the host where you install 3WXM Services, 3WXM Services will not be able to communicate with 3WXM client or with WX switches unless the firewall is configured to allow through traffic for the SSL and SNMP ports (443 and 162 by default).

To connect to 3WXM Services

1Select Monitor -> Service Selection from the toolbar in the main 3WXM window.

2Start 3WXM client.

Select Start ->Programs ->3Com ->3WXM ->3WXM. The 3WXM Services Connection dialog appears.

3Enter the IP address or fully-qualified hostname of the machine on which the service is installed.

If the service is installed on the same machine as the one you are using to run 3WXM, enter 127.0.0.1 as the IP address. This is a standard IP loopback address.

4Specify the service port, if different from the port number in the Service Port listbox.

The port number used by 3WXM Services must not be used by another application on the machine where 3WXM Services is installed. If the port number is used by another application, change the port number on the monitoring service. (See “Verifying that the 3WXM Client is Receiving Service Data” on page 485.)

5Enter a username and password, if required for access to the service.

Usernames and passwords for accessing 3WXM Services are configured on the Service Settings tab. (See “Verifying that the 3WXM Client is Receiving Service Data” on page 485.)

6To configure 3WXM client to remember the username and password for 3WXM Services access, select Remember user name and password.

7To automatically reopen the network plan that you worked with most recently, leave Open Network Plan selected.
