80CHAPTER 3: GETTING STARTED

Disabling Access If you have enabled access control for 3WXM, you can disable access Control control. This allows all users who have successfully authenticated to the

system on which 3WXM is installed to run 3WXM.

If you disable access control, the permissions and account types are deleted from 3WXM. These deletions have no effect on the Windows user accounts.

To disable access control:

1Select Tools > 3WXM Services Setup. The 3WXM Services Setup dialog box appears.

2Click Allow all users. All 3WXM accounts that were created are deleted.

3In the 3WXM Services Setup dialog box, click Save to save the changes.

Creating and	A network plan is the workspace in 3WXM you use to design a 3Com
Managing Network	network. In a network plan, you define components of the network (WX
Plans	switches, MAP access points, and optionally third-party access points).
	You must create a network plan before you can configure or manage WX
	switches or monitor network data.
	A network plan allows modular management of large networks based on
	organizational or geographical boundaries. For example, a network plan
	can represent a campuswide network. You also can define a physical
	representation of the network (sites, buildings, and floors). In this case,
	you can import drawings of your floor plans into the network plan or
	draw plan details manually. You can then identify the RF characteristics
	by identifying RF objects.
	3Com recommends that you limit a network plan to a single campus or
	Mobility Domain.
	Different countries have different regulatory limits for 802.11 radios.
	Setting the country code in the network plan automatically enforces the
	appropriate regulatory limits for all configured radios. The greatest
	geographical scope for a network plan is a country, because a network
	plan is based on one specific country code.
