Information
After you import the file into 3WXM, you have the opportunity to remove
any unnecessary objects overlooked during your initial preparation of the
floor drawings. To do this, you can use the Clean Layout feature and
other editing tools in the Building wizard.
For more information about how to prepare the AutoCAD files for
3WXM, refer to the Wireless LAN Switch Manager Reference Manual.
You define your site with information about your campus, buildings, and
floors. In addition, you describe the attenuation characteristics of the
location and specify the traffic engineering needs (bandwidth and
reliability) of the users.
3WXM commits your work into the network plan only when you click
Finish, not when you click Next. Changes are not persistently saved until
you save the network plan.
To create a network plan:
1 Connect to a host running 3WXM Services. When you start 3WXM, the
3WXM main window and the 3WXM Services Connection dialog box appear.
2 In the 3WXM Services Connection dialog box, enter the IP address of a
host running 3WXM Services, optionally enter a user name and
password, and click Next.
If the 3WXM Service is installed on the same machine as the one you are
using to run 3WXM, enter 127.0.0.1 as the IP address. This is a standard
IP loopback address.
3 After a connection is established to the specified 3WXM Services host,
select File > New. The Create Network Plan wizard appears.
