The profiles available depend on the Mobility Domain you selected in
step 31. The profile you select applies to all radios associated with the
coverage area. If you type the name of a radio profile that does not
already exist, 3WXM creates it.

33 In the Wiring Closet list, select the wiring closet that contains the WX

switch or switches to be connected to the shared MAPs.

If the MAPs will be directly connected to WX switches, a wiring closet is
required. If all the MAPs in the coverage area will be indirectly connected
to WX switches through the network, a wiring closet is not required.

34 In the Redundant Wiring Closet list, select the wiring closet that will

provide redundant connection to the MAPs. This is required for directly
connected MAPs, if you require the MAPs to have redundant
connections. Otherwise, this is not required.

35 Click Finish to complete the wizard and create the coverage area. The

coverage area is now displayed on your floor.
