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.
Note: The new SSID which is added while creating a Wi-Fi fence, will not be the part of Wi-Fi Configuration. The Wi-Fi fence will be triggered only after the authentication process.
To add a Wi-Fi fence, follow these steps:
- Log on to the Seqrite EMM console and in the left pane, click Fencing > Fences > Add Fence > Wi-Fi Fence.
The Add Wi-Fi Fence page is displayed. - Enter the name of the Wi-Fi and then select Wi-Fi SSID.
If the Wi-Fi SSID is a new one, then enter SSID. If you want to use existing SSID from Wi-Fi configuration, then select Existing Wi-Fi SSID.
After selecting existing Wi-Fi SSID, all the configured Wi-Fi SSIDs of Wi-Fi configuration are displayed. - Click Save. A new Wi-Fi fence is added.
