Install the MAP access points:
3
To manage a directly connected MAP, physically
install the MAP and connect it to WXR100 port 2.
To manage a Distributed MAP (a MAP con-
nected to the WX over the network), physically
install the MAP and connect it to the network
and to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) source.
Power on the WXR100 and insert a paperclip or similar
4
object into the WXR100's Fn hole to press the switch.
Figure 1 Fn Switch on WXR100
Keep pressing the Fn switch until the Fn LED (the right
5
LED above port 1) flashes. Normally, this LED remains
solidly lit for three seconds after power on. However,
when the Fn switch is pressed, the LED flashes for
three seconds instead.
The WXR100 contacts 3WXM Services. 3WXM
Services checks the currently selected network plan
for a WX configuration with a matching serial
number and deploys the configuration to the switch.

If the network plan does not have a configuration
with a matching serial number, a verification warning
appears in 3WXM. The warning lists the switch's
serial number and IP address. The network
administrator can upload the switch into the network
plan, configure switch parameters, and deploy a
configuration to the switch.
Stage the Switch (any model)
You can use this method of remote configuration for
any model WX switch, regardless of whether the local
office (the switch installation site) has a DHCP server
or DNS server.
Preparing the Network
If the network where the switch will be installed has a
DNS server, add an entry that maps the IP address of
3WXM Services to the hostname wlan-config-srv.
Include the corporate network domain name in the
entry (for example, wlan-config-srv.example.com).
Alternatively, you can configure an IP alias on the
switch itself that maps the server IP address to this
well-known name. (See "Example 2: Deployment Site
Has No DHCP and No DNS" on page 5.)
Preparing the Switch
Preconfigure the WX with the following information:
IP address
Default router (gateway) address
Domain name and DNS server address
