3WXM client and 3WXM monitoring services are each supported on the
following operating systems:
Microsoft Windows Server 2003
Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 1 (SP1) or later
Microsoft Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4
You must use the English version of the operating system you select. Operating
system versions in other languages are not supported with 3WXM.
The following additional software is required for certain 3WXM features:
Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.x or later (or plug-in)—For reading the
Wireless LAN Switch Manager Reference Manual and release notes.
Web browser (for example, Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.x or 6.x or
Netscape Navigator 6.x or 7.x)—For displaying 3WXM work orders
and inventory reports.
Preparing for
Installation
A licensed copy of 3WXM comes with a base license key. Before you
install 3WXM, make sure you have the appropriate administrative
privileges on the system.
After you have installed 3WXM, you will need to register your license and
the serial number with 3Com in order to obtain an activation key.
The base key along with its activation key enables you to manage up to
10 wireless LAN switches. To manage more than 10 wireless LAN
switches, you also need an upgrade key and an additional activation key,
which you obtain from 3Com. See “Serial Number and License Key” on
page 24 for more information.
User Privileges Before you install 3WXM, make sure that you are logged in as a user who
has permission to install software, or as an administrator.
After you install 3WXM, you can configure 3WXM access privileges for
the user accounts on the machine. Likewise, you can configure access
privileges for the monitoring service, if installed. Access privileges for the
3WXM client are completely independent of access privileges for the
monitoring service, and are configured separately.
