Verifying that the 3WXM Client is Receiving Service Data 485
Verifying that the
3WXM Client is
Receiving Service
Data
If you are using a network plan that already contains equipment, use the
following procedure to verify that the 3WXM client is receiving data for
the equipment.
1 Select an object in the Organizer panel, then right-click and select
Monitor. The Monitor tab appears in the Content panel.
2 Wait 60 seconds for 3WXM to retrieve updates from the server, then
check the color of the objects for 3Com equipment displayed in the
Explore window.
 If the status color is blue, then 3WXM is not receiving status data from
the server yet.
 If the status color is green, yellow, orange, or red, then 3WXM is
receiving status data from the server.
(For information about the status colors, see “Monitor Tab — Explore
Window” on page 53.)
Changing Service
Settings
The service settings control the connection parameters, key store
information, and access control to 3WXM Services.
The port numbers used by 3WXM Services must not be used by other
applications on the machine where the monitoring service is installed. If
port 443 or 162 is used by another application, change the port number
for the monitoring service or for the other application.
1 Select Tools > 3WXM Services Setup. The 3WXM Services Setup dialog
box appears. (See Figure on page 480.)
2 Click the Service Settings tab (if not already selected).
3 To change the TCP port on which the 3WXM Services listens for requests
from 3WXM, type or select the port number in the HTTPS Server Port box.
The default is 443.
CAUTION: When you click Save, all instances of the 3WXM client lose
connection with the service and will need to reconnect on the new port
number. The HTTPS port number is automatically updated for the 3WXM
client you are using and your connection is automatically restored. Other
clients will need to use the Monitor Service Select wizard to change the
service port and reconnect.
