5 To have 3WXM create a backup copy of a previous configuration file,
select Copy Files Before Overwriting.

Export Defaults.

Each Mobility Domain in the Mobility Domains section of the Organizer
panel has a Domain Policies object. This object contains WX switch
configuration parameters that can be globally edited and deployed to all
WX switches in the Mobility Domain. After you edit Domain Policies, you
can globally apply them to all WX switches in the Mobility Domain.
Every Mobility Domain has a default domain policy that applies to all the
WX switches created in that Mobility Domain. Working with a domain
policy is like configuring an individual WX, although you cannot configure
WX-specific information such as ports.
If you use domain policies, you can make configuration changes to an
individual WX and also use domain policies. If you make configuration
changes to a specific WX and also apply domain policy changes to the
WX, the domain policy changes do not replace the WX-specific
configuration changes. Otherwise, any data created or deleted in a
domain policy is overwritten on the WX when the domain policy changes
are applied.
In addition to applying configuration changes from a domain policy to
WX switches, you can apply configuration changes made on a WX to a
domain policy. This allows you to use a WX as a starting point when
creating a domain policy.
Domain policy changes must be applied to WX switches using Policy
Manager. If you create a WX when domain policy changes are pending,
subsequent changes might not be applied correctly to the new WX. Make
