Mobility System Software (MSS) operates a 3Com Mobility System
wireless LAN (WLAN) consisting of 3Com Wireless Switch Manager
software, Wireless LAN Switches (WX1200 or WXR100), Wireless LAN
Controllers (WX4400 or WX2200), 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 MAPs.
You configure the WX switch and MAPs 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
