22 CHAPTER 1: INSTALLING 3WXM
3Com recommends that larger installations (12 or more switches or
greater than 500 APs) not use the same machine for site planning with
the 3WXM client and for running the optional monitoring service. Each
of these features requires system resources. Using all features
simultaneously on the same machine can affect the performance of each
feature.
HP OpenView
Network Node
Manager
If you want to integrate 3WXM into your HP OpenView environment, you
have the option of installing the HP OpenView plug-in required to use
Network Node Manager with 3Com products. Make sure that HP
OpenView is already installed before installing 3WXM with the plug-in.
Installation Task
Overview
You perform the following tasks during installation:
■ Unpack files. (See “Unpacking Files” on page 22.)
■ Use the installation wizard. (See “Using the Installation Wizard” on
page 23.)
■ Install the HP OpenView plug-in (optional). (See “Installing the HP
OpenView Plug-In” on page 28.)
The installation wizard for the 3WXM client has an option to install the
monitoring service on the same machine. You must install the client in
order to install the monitoring service. You cannot install the monitoring
service separately.
Unpacking Files To unpack files on your Windows system, follow these steps.
1 Insert the 3WXM CD in the CD-ROM drive. If Autorun is enabled, wait

the installation wizard, see “Using the Installation Wizard” on page 23.
