80 CHAPTER 3: GETTING STARTED
Disabling Access
Control
If you have enabled access control for 3WXM, you can disable access
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:
1 Select Tools > 3WXM Services Setup. The 3WXM Services Setup dialog
box appears.
2 Click Allow all users. All 3WXM accounts that were created are deleted.
3 In the 3WXM Services Setup dialog box, click Save to save the changes.
Creating and
Managing Network
Plans
A network plan is the workspace in 3WXM you use to design a 3Com
network. In a network plan, you define components of the network (WX
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.
