3Com CRWXR10095A Switch User Manual


 
16 CHAPTER 1: GETTING STARTED
Once the activation key has been accepted, you may enter an Unlimited
Device license key. This will require its own activation key, which can be
obtained in the same manner.
If you are registering your product using the web browser on a different
host, and you wish to register for the 30-day trial, then you will need to
select 3CWXMA as the software that you are registering. If you have a
license key, then you should select 3CWXM10A. This will register both
the software and the license. The Unlimited Device license is registered as
3CWXMUPA.
HP OpenView
Network Node
Manager
If you want to integrate 3WXM into your HP OpenView environment, you
have the option of installing the HP OpenView plug-in required to use
Network Node Manager with 3Com products. Make sure that HP
OpenView is already installed before installing 3WXM with the plug-in.
Resource Allocation Table 5 contains general recommended guidelines for hardware
requirements and memory allocation based on the number of radios and
WX switches your server will support. A larger number of WX switches
implies more connections and data processing, and consequently, more
CPU is required. A larger number of radios implies more data (including
client sessions) which requires more RAM and storage.
3WXM Services
Options
3WXM Services can be installed either in standalone mode or shared
mode. Standalone mode is when 3WXM client and 3WXM Services are
installed on one machine. Standalone mode is primarily used for trying
out 3WXM, while shared mode is used in a working environment. In
shared mode, the administrator sets up 3WXM Services on a single host
(typically with more resources) and other hosts with the client 3WXM
