Specifying Default Device Settings for the Coverage Area

You can optionally specify the WX switch or MAP models that 3WXM
uses when calculating the devices to include in the coverage area.
1 To change the WX switch model, select the model from the WX Model list.
2 To change the default MAP model, select the model from the Default AP
Model list.
If this is a shared area (more than one radio technology), only dual-radio
models are listed. If the area is not shared, all models are listed.
3 To change the MAP connection type, select the type from the AP
Connection Type list:
Direct—MAPs are directly attached to dedicated WX switch ports.
Distributed—MAPs can be indirectly attached through
intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 devices.
Distributed (Auto)—MAPs can be indirectly attached through
intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 devices. They receive their
configuration automatically using a profile that assigns a
Distributed MAP number and name to the MAP from among the
unused valid MAP numbers available on the switch. The profile also
configures the MAP with the MAP and radio parameter settings in
the profile. See "Viewing and Changing the Auto-DAP Profile" on
page 279 for information on creating a profile.
