Remotely Configuring a Switch Using 3WXM (any model)
You can configure an enabled password for the switch
even if it does not already have one. When sending the
configuration, 3WXM tries the configured password
first, then tries a blank password if the enabled
password does not match the one on the switch. If the
switch does not have an enabled password, the blank
password is accepted. 3WXM then sends the
configuration to the switch, including the configured
(non-blank) enabled password.
Click Finish to save the switch configuration and
13
close the wizard.
Leave 3WXM Services running, with the network plan
open. When the switch is powered on at the remote site
(and the Fn switch is pressed, if a WXR100), the switch
uses its DHCP client to obtain an IP address, then contacts
3WXM Services to request a configuration.
Install the Switch and MAPs and Press the Fn Switch
(WXR100 only)
Drop ship configuration requires a DHCP server at the
remote office. The WXR100 uses the DHCP server to
obtain an IP configuration in order to communicate
with 3WXM Services in the corporate network. The
drop ship option also requires an entry in the local
DNS server that maps the hostname wlan-config-srv
to 3WXM Service's IP address.
Add an entry to the local DNS server that maps the host-
1
name wlan-config-srv to the IP address of 3WXM Ser-
vices. Include the corporate network's domain name in
the entry (for example, wlan-config-srv.example.com).
Connect WXR100 port 1 to the network.
