MAP-WX Security
Mode
Configuring
Advanced MAP
Settings
To change the MAP-WX security mode for all Distributed MAPs, select
the value from the Security Mode drop-down list:
None—Management traffic between Distributed MAPs and the WX is
not encrypted, even for MAPs that support encryption.
Optional—Distributed MAPs can be managed by the switch even if
they do not have encryption keys or their keys have not been verified
by an administrator. Encryption is used for MAPs that support it.
Require—Distributed MAPs can be managed by the switch only if they
have encryption keys and their keys have been verified by an
administrator. If a MAP does not have an encryption key or the key
has not been verified, the WX does not establish a management
session with the MAP.
The setting applies to all Distributed MAPs booted and managed by the
switch. A change to this setting affects only new management sessions
established after deploying the change to the switch. The change does
not affect existing sessions.
After configuring a MAP, select the MAP and click Properties. 3WXM
will display a configuration wizard that contains all of the configurable
parameters for the MAP.
You also can edit values listed in the table by editing them in the table
itself.

a Select the Configuration tool bar option.
b In the Organizer panel, click the plus sign next to the WX switch.
c Click the plus sign next to Wireless.
d Select Access Points.
2 Select the MAP you want to modify and click Properties.

Conference Room"), enter text in the Location box.
5 To add Contact information about the MAP (for example, "Bob the IT
Guy"), enter text in the Contact box.
