You can use 3WXM Services running in your corporate network to
configure WX switches in remote offices. The following remote
configuration scenarios are supported:
Drop ship—3WXM Services running in the corporate network can
configure a WXR100 switch shipped directly to a remote office. This
option does not require any preconfiguration of the switch.
Staged—You can stage any model of switch by preconfiguring IP
connectivity and enabling auto-config, then sending the switch to the
remote office. The switch contacts 3WXM Services in the corporate
network to complete its configuration.
The drop ship option is supported only for the WXR100. The staged
option is supported for all switch models. Both options require 3WXM
Services. If you know a serial number for a switch, you can create a
complete configuration for the switch in 3WXM. When the switch
requests its configuration from 3WXM, 3WXM sends the configuration
for that serial number. If you do not know the serial number, you can
upload the partially configured switch into 3WXM, finish its
configuration, then deploy the completed configuration back to the
switch.
