Saving a Network Plan with a New Name
You can save a network plan with a new name by using the Save As feature.
To save a network plan with a new name:
1 Select Services > Plan Management to access the 3WXM Plan
Management page.
2 Click Save As in the left column to display the Save As Network Plan page.
3 In the Network Plan Name box, type a name for the network plan. You
can use 1 to 60 alphanumeric characters, with no spaces, tabs, or any of
the following: slash (/), backslash (\), quotation marks (" "), asterisk (*),
question mark (?), angle brackets (< >), or vertical bar (|).
To place the name of an existing plan into the Network Plan Name, click
the button next to the name of the network plan, and then click Select.
4 Click Save to save the network plan with the new name.
Network plans reside on a host running 3WXM Services. You can open
an existing network plan by connecting to the 3WXM Services host
where the plan resides, selecting Services > Plan Management, then
specifying the name of the plan in the dialog. The network plan is then
opened in the 3WXM main window.
You can open a network plan created in a previous version of 3WXM
with a later version of 3WXM. For example, if you created a network plan
in 3WXM Version 4.0, you can open the plan in 3WXM Version 4.1.
However, because a network plan created in 3WXM Version 4.0
manages WX switches running MSS Version 4.0, you cannot use new
features available in MSS Version 4.1 unless you upgrade the WX
switches to MSS Version 4.1. (To upgrade WX switches, see "Distributing
System Images" on page 369.)
To open a network plan:
1 Establish a connection to the 3WXM Services host on which the network
plan is saved.
2 You can do this by restarting 3WXM or selecting File > Connect, and
then entering the IP address of the 3WXM Services host in the 3WXM
Services Connection dialog box.
3 After the connection is established with the 3WXM Services host, select
Services > Plan Management to access the 3WXM Plan Management
page.
