Managing Network Plans

After creating a network plan, you can save, close, open, or delete it. You can also share a network plan with others.

Saving a Network Plan

When you create a network plan and save changes, a directory with the same name as the network plan is created in the
config-db directory of the WLAN Management Software installation directory on the WMS Services host.
Each time you save a configuration change, WLAN Management Software saves the changes to the network plan. You
do not need to explicitly save the network plan itself. However, if the network plan has unsaved changes when you select
to exit WLAN Management Software or close a network plan, WLAN Management Software displays a prompt to ask
whether you want to save or discard the changes, or cancel the request. (See
Changes" (page 42).)
Nortel recommends that you regularly back up the config-db directory so that you have additional copies of your
network plans.
(In addition to this section, see
Note.
If the plan has unsaved changes and WMS Services becomes unavailable before
the changes are saved, WLAN Management Software client buffers the changes until WMS
Services becomes available again. However, for the changes to be buffered, you must
leave your WLAN Management Software client session open and leave the network plan
open.
