CAUTION:

If you are upgrading from a Beta version, 

you must save a copy of your network plans (located in 
the 3Com\Wireless Switch Manager\xml\db folder), 
uninstall the Beta version and include the option to 
delete the network plans (but do not delete the serial 
number!), then copy your plans back to the db folder. If 
you install this version of 3WXM without uninstalling 
the Beta version first, the monitoring service will not 
start. (See “Upgrade requires complete uninstall of Beta
