22 CHAPTER 1: INSTALLING 3WXM
User Privileges Before you install 3WXM, make sure that you are logged in as a user who
has permission to install software, or as an administrator.
After you install 3WXM, you can configure 3WXM access privileges for
the user accounts on the machine. Likewise, you can configure access
privileges for the monitoring service, if installed. Access privileges for the
3WXM client are completely independent of access privileges for the
monitoring service, and are configured separately.
Serial Number and
License Key
3WXM comes with a base license key, which is provided on the CD cover.
To use 3WXM, you need to enter the base key and an activation key,
which you obtain from 3Com. The base key and activation key enable
you to manage up to 10 wireless LAN switches. To manage more than 10
wireless LAN switches, you also need an upgrade key and additional
activation key, which you obtain from 3Com.
Each time you start 3WXM, it checks the license information. If the
product is not licensed, the License wizard is displayed.
HP OpenView
Network Node
Manager
If you want to integrate 3WXM into your HP OpenView environment, you
have the option of installing the HP OpenView plug-in required to use
Network Node Manager with 3Com products. Make sure that HP
OpenView is already installed before installing 3WXM with the plug-in.
