You can use 3Com Wireless Switch Manager Services running in your 
corporate network to configure WX switches in remote offices. The 
following remote configuration scenarios are supported:

„

Drop ship—3Com Wireless Switch Manager Services running in the 
corporate network can configure a WXR100 switch shipped directly to 
a remote office. This option does not require any preconfiguration of 
the switch.

„

Staged—You can stage any model of switch by preconfiguring IP 
connectivity and enabling auto-config, then sending the switch to the 
remote office. The switch contacts 3Com Wireless Switch Manager 
Services in the corporate network to complete its configuration.

The drop ship option is supported only for the WXR100. The staged 
option is supported for all switch models. Both options require 3Com 
Wireless Switch Manager Services. 

Wireless Switch Manager Reference Manual

.

3Com Wireless Switch Manager comes with two sample network plans:

„

QuickStart—Contains a two-floor building with two WX switches and 
two MAPs on each switch. Each switch and its MAPs provide coverage 
for a floor. The 3Com equipment is configured to provide both clear 
(unencrypted) and secure (802.1X) wireless access.

„

StarterKit—Contains a simple rectangle as a floor plan, but with one 
WX switch and four MAPs. You can modify this plan to deploy the 
3Com starter kit (STR-B-xx). 

The QuickStart network plan contains a configuration similar to the one 
created by the CLI quickstart example in “Quickstart Example” on 
page 46. The plan differs from the sample configuration by using 
separate VLANs for WX management traffic, corporate users, and guest 
users. Otherwise, the configuration is the same.
