Restricting Access to 3WXM 77
Switch to an existing network plan. You can open the sample plan
included with 3WXM or a plan that you or another 3WXM user has
saved on the 3WXM Services host.
3WXM comes with a sample plan called 3ComStarterExample. This
plan contains a two-floor building with two WX1200 switches and
two AP2750 MAP access points on each switch. Each switch and its
MAPs provide coverage for a floor. The 3Com equipment is
configured to provide both clear (unencrypted) and secure (802.1X)
wireless access.
To open an existing network plan, select File > Switch Network Plan
and select the network plan from the list of available network plans.
3WXM connects to the 3WXM Services host and opens the specified
network plan on the server. See “Opening a Network Plan” on
page 84 for more information.
Restricting Access
to 3WXM
This section describes how to restrict access to the 3WXM client
application.
To restrict access to the 3WXM monitoring service, see “Verifying that the
3WXM Client is Receiving Service Data” on page 485.
By default, all users who have been successfully authenticated to a system
with 3WXM installed on it can run 3WXM. You can restrict the users
allowed to access 3WXM on a system and define their access privileges
by creating three types of 3WXM user accounts:
Administrator — This account can monitor the network, configure
the network, and administer 3WXM. When creating an administrator
account, you must assign an administrator password, which you are
required to provide the next time you configure access privileges.
Provision — This account can configure and monitor the network.
Monitor — This account can only monitor the network. When users
with a monitor account open a network plan, they can see
configuration changes that have been deployed to the network. Any
configuration changes that have not been deployed are not visible.
The 3WXM user accounts you create must also exist in the Windows domain
or local operating system. Otherwise, those users cannot start 3WXM.
