Create Your MAPs 101
Create Your MAPs Depending on how your MAPs are connected to a WX switch, you need
to create a direct connect MAP or a distributed MAP in your network plan
in 3WXM. A direct connect MAP is connected to the wired network
through a direct 10/100 Ethernet connection to a WX switch. A
distributed MAP is connected to the WX switch indirectly through other
Layer 2 or Layer 3 wired networking devices.
To create a directly connected MAP in 3WXM
1 Access the Create Direct-Connect AP wizard:
a Select the Configuration tool bar option.
b In the Organizer panel, click the plus sign next to the WX switch.
c Click the plus sign next to Wireless.
d Select Access Points.
e In the Task List panel, select Direct-Connect AP.
2 Select the WX port the MAP will be connected to from the Available Ports
drop-down list.
Configuring a directly connected MAP in a port converts the port to an
MAP access port. If the port is a statically configured member of a VLAN,
the port is removed from the VLAN.
3 Click Next.
4 Select the MAP model from the MAP Model list.

The non-editable number (1 or 2) indicates the radio number on the MAP.
