Mobility System Software (MSS) operates a 3Com Mobility System
wireless LAN (WLAN) consisting of 3Com Wireless Switch Manager
software, Wireless LAN Switches (WX1200), Wireless LAN Controllers
(WX4400), and Managed Access Points (MAPs). MSS has a command-line
interface (CLI) on a WX switch that you can use to configure and manage
the switch and its attached MAP access points.
You configure the WX switch and MAP access points primarily with set,
clear, and display commands. Use set commands to change
parameters. Use clear commands to reset parameters to their defaults. In
many cases, you can overwrite a parameter with another set command.
Use display commands to display the current configuration and monitor
the status of network operations.
The WX switch supports two connection modes:
Administrative access mode, which enables the network administrator
to connect to the WX and configure the network
Network access mode, which enables network users to connect
through the WX to access the network
