If you override the lock, 3WXM obtains the lock and notifies the other
3WXM users about the lock change. From this point on, the former lock
holder cannot save any current or future changes to the plan.
By default, 3WXM sends a message to all users who have the plan open
with monitor access to inform them when changes are saved to the plan.
In addition, when a plan is closed, 3WXM sends a message to each
monitor user, so that one of them can then open the plan for edit.
You can change the notification interval or disable notification.
To change notification preferences:
1 In the main 3WXM window, select Tools > Preferences.
2 Click the Persistence tab.
3 To disable change notification, clear Plan Change Notification.
4 To change the interval at which 3WXM sends change notification
messages, specify the interval (in minutes) in the Plan Change
Notification Interval box.
5 Click Close.
A Mobility Domain is a collection of WX switches that work together to
support roaming users. One of the WX switches is defined as a seed
device, which distributes information to the other WX switches defined in
the Mobility Domain.
A Mobility Domain allows users to roam geographically from one WX
switch to another without losing network connectivity. Users connect as a
member of a VLAN through their authorized identities. If the native VLAN
for a user is not present on the WX to which the user connects, the WX
creates a tunnel to that VLAN.
When you create a network plan, 3WXM automatically creates a default
Mobility Domain. You can use the default Mobility Domain or create a
new one. A network plan can contain more than one Mobility Domain.
You use 3WXM to create a Mobility Domain and define its seed device
and the other WX switches in the Mobility Domain. If you already have
WX switches installed and configured, you can upload the configurations
of the switches to 3WXM to have them included in a Mobility Domain.
