Mobility System Software (MSS) operates a 3Com Mobility System
wireless LAN (WLAN) consisting of 3Com Wireless Switch Manager
(3WXM) software and 3Com Wireless LAN Switch or 3Com Wireless LAN
Controller (WX switch) and 3Com Wireless LAN Managed Access Point
(MAP) hardware. There is a command-line interface (CLI) on the WX
switch that you can use to configure and manage the WX and its
attached access points.
You configure the wireless LAN switches and access points 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 show the current configuration and monitor
the status of network operations.
The wireless LAN switches support two connection modes:
Administrative access mode, which enables the network administrator
to connect to the WX switch and configure the network
Network access mode, which enables network users to connect
through the WX switch to access the network
