A network plan is the workspace in 3WXM you use to design a 3Com 
network. In a network plan, you define components of the network (WX 
switches, MAP access points, and optional third-party access points). 
Regardless of whether you intend to use physical planning features, you 
must create a network plan before you can configure or manage WX 
switches or monitor network data. 

A network plan allows modular management of large networks based on 
organizational or geographical boundaries. For example, a network plan 
can represent a campuswide network. You also can define a physical 
representation of the network (sites, buildings, and floors). In this case, 
you can import drawings of your floor plans into the network plan or 
draw plan details manually. You can then identify the RF characteristics 
by importing data from a site survey or by manually identifying RF 
objects.

3Com recommends that you limit a network plan to a single campus or 
Mobility Domain (3Com network domain). 

Different countries have different regulatory limits for 802.11 radios. 
Setting the country code in the network plan automatically enforces the 
appropriate regulatory limits for all configured radios. The greatest 
geographical scope for a network plan is a country, because a network 
plan is based on one specific country code.
