This chapter describes how to install 3Com Wireless LAN Switch Manager
(3WXM).
3WXM can be utilized with a client/server deployment or both client and
monitoring services can be run on the same machine. The monitoring
service is used for collecting historical data and for managing the
network. The client requires communication with the monitoring service
for managing the network. Larger installations needing multiple
management clients should utilize the client/server approach with 3WXM
clients communicating with a separate monitoring service. When
combining client and monitoring services on the same machine, please
use the requirements indicated for the monitoring service.
The monitoring service is not required to configure and manage WX
switches. However, data provided by the monitoring service (in the
Monitor tab) is not available if the monitoring service is not installed.
Table 3 shows the minimum and recommended requirements to run the
3WXM client.
