b If you are indirectly connecting the WX to the switch, plug the other
cable end(s) to an available network port on the wiring closet switch.
If the switch does not supply PoE, then ensure that a mid-span PoE
device is inserted in-line with the connection.
Deployment
What is deployment?
: Sending the WX configuration information in the
3WXM network plan to your WX switch.
Purpose of this section
: To describe how changes are made to 3WXM and
deployed to your network.
Why is this important?
: To understand best practices for sending and
deploying configurations to your WX.
Configuration changes are collected in 3WXM when you save them, but
are not applied to WX switches until you send the changes to your
network. Any changes you make to your network in 3WXM are saved,
but not applied to your network until they are deployed. This method
makes it easy to apply configurations simultaneously to multiple WX
switches, or you can deploy changes to a single WX switch.
