Fences

Seqrite Enterprise Mobility Management (mSuite) helps you to create virtual boundaries for your devices with the help of fences.

Seqrite Enterprise Mobility Management (mSuite) supports the following fence types.

Wi-Fi Fence

The Wi-Fi fencing is a technique that uses Wi-Fi SSID to define the fence. Whenever the user device gets connected to the defined SSID, the Wi-Fi fence triggers and then the selected restrictions in that Wi-Fi fence are applied on the device. While creating a Wi-Fi fence, you can provide any Wi-Fi SSID, and in addition you can select only the existing SSID from Wi-Fi configuration list.

Geo Fence

The Geo fencing helps to create the fence with restrictions in a geographical area. This option lets you allow or restrict the usage of the features within a specific area by tracking the device via GPS (global positioning system). Whenever the device enters the defined location, then the Geo fence triggers on the device and all the restrictions are applied on the user’s device. This fencing allows to create a virtual barrier around a location on a map. This option helps to detect entry or exit of the device from the defined perimeter. You can draw a circle on the map to define the boundaries. You can add a new geo fence by defining radius or length on a geographical location of a map.

When multiple Geo fences are added in an organization, then the details of each Geo fence is important and should be handy. So, Seqrite Enterprise Mobility Management (mSuite) facilitates to import the Geo fence details. On Fences list page, the Import Geo Fence button is available to import the Geo fence details. In single instance, maximum of 1000 Geo fences details can be imported.

Time Fence

The Time fencing helps you to setup the time-based rules to be applied on the user devices. This option helps to limit the users of Seqrite Enterprise Mobility Management (mSuite) by defining the time as the boundary. You can define a particular time and particular dates to define the fencing. Whenever the defined time is executed on the device, then the fence triggers on the device and the restrictions are applied on the device. If you want to execute time fencing on particular days within the defined time range, you can select the days that you want to execute fencing. You can also exclude executing the fencing on a particular date from the defined fencing period.
