This document describes how to quickly install and

configure a new WX switch running Mobility System

Software Version 6.0. You can use any of the following

methods to configure a new switch:

Web Quick Start (WXR100, WX1200, or WX2200)

(see below)

Remote configuration by 3Com Wireless Switch

Manager (3WXM) Management Application (see

page 2)

CLI quickstart command (see page 7)

You might also need to perform some minor network or

client configuration tasks. See “Preparing the Network

for Distributed MAPs” on page 8 and “Preparing

Clients” on page 9.

Using the Web Quick Start (WXR100, WX1200,

or WX2200)

Use a Category 5 (Cat 5) or higher Ethernet cable to con-

nect the switch directly to a PC that has a web browser.

On WX2200, attach the Ethernet cable to the

management port only.

On WX1200 or WXR100, you can attach the

Ethernet cable to any 10/100 port.

Connect the switch to an AC power source.

If you are configuring a WXR100, do not press the

Fn switch during power on. Pressing this switch on an

unconfigured switch causes the switch to attempt to

contact 3WXM Services instead of displaying the Web

Quick Start.

Ensure the NIC of the PC that is connected to the switch

is enabled.

Verify that the NIC is configured to use DHCP to obtain

its IP address. You will not be able to access the Web

Quick Start if the IP address of the NIC is statically

configured.

Use a web browser to access IP address 192.168.100.1.

This is a temporary, well-known address assigned to the

unconfigured switch when you power it on. The Web

Quick Start enables you to change this address.

The Web View application on the switch opens in a

browser window. The first page of the Quick Start

wizard is displayed (as shown on the next page).

If a certificate check dialog appears, click Accept or OK

to accept the certificate.
