You can use 3WXM to upgrade or downgrade the system image (MSS
software) on WX switches. System images include switch software and
MAP software.
Use the image repository to add or delete WX system images. The image
file is checked and its version is verified when added to the image
repository. Images are stored in the
3Com_installation_directory\images\dp directory.
To add a system image
1 Select the Devices tool bar option.
2 At the bottom of the Task List panel, select Device Operations.
3 In the Task List panel, select Image Repository.
4 Click Add Image. The Add to Repository dialog box appears.
5 Navigate to the directory containing the system image.
6 Select the system image.
7 Click Add to Repository. The image is added to the image repository
and appears in the Image List.
8 To close the Image Repository dialog box, click Close.
To delete a system image
1 In the Image Repository dialog box, select the image you want to delete.
2 Click Remove Image. A prompt appears.
3 Click Yes to delete the system image.
4 To close the Image Repository dialog box, click Close.
You can distribute a system image to one or more WX switches in a
network plan.
To use a new system image, you must reboot the WX. For more
information, see "Rebooting WX Switches or MAP Access Points" on
page 371.
3Com recommends that you use the Verification tab to resolve any
configuration errors or warnings before you distribute system images.
