494 CHAPTER B: CHANGING 3WXM SERVICES PREFERENCES
Connecting to
3WXM Services
If a firewall is enabled on the host where you install 3WXM Services,
3WXM Services will not be able to communicate with 3WXM client or
with WX switches unless the firewall is configured to allow through
traffic for the SSL and SNMP ports (443 and 162 by default).
To connect to 3WXM Services
1 Start 3WXM client.
Select Start -> Programs -> 3Com -> 3WXM -> 3WXM. The 3WXM
Services Connection dialog appears.
2 Enter the IP address or fully-qualified hostname of the machine on which
the service is installed.
If the service is installed on the same machine as the one you are using to
run 3WXM, enter 127.0.0.1 as the IP address. This is a standard IP
loopback address.
3 Specify the service port, if different from the port number in the Service
Port listbox.
The port number used by 3WXM Services must not be used by another
application on the machine where 3WXM Services is installed. If the port
number is used by another application, change the port number on
3WXM Services. (See “Changing Service Settings” on page 497.)
4 Enter a username and password, if required for access to the service.
Usernames and passwords for accessing 3WXM Services are configured
on the Service Settings tab. (See “Changing Service Settings” on
page 497.)
5 To configure 3WXM client to remember the username and password for
3WXM Services access, select Remember user name and password.
6 To automatically reopen the network plan that you worked with most
recently, leave Open Network Plan selected.
If the Open Network Plan option is selected and this is the first time you
are accessing the server from this client, 3WXM Services opens a new
(blank) network plan.
