ZENworks® ESM 3.5 Administrator’s Manual 116
Wi-Fi Management
Wi-Fi management allows the administrator to create Access Point (AP) lists. The wireless access
points entered into these lists will determine which APs the endpoint is permitted and not
permitted to connect to within the location, and which access points it's permitted to see in
Microsoft's Zero Configuration Manager (Zero Config). 3rd party wireless configuration
managers are not supported with this functionality. If no access points are entered, all will be
available to the endpoint.
To access this control, open the Locations tab and click the Wi-Fi Management icon in the
policy tree on the left.
Note:
In either of the Wi-Fi Connectivity Controls: Wi-Fi Security and Wi-Fi Management, unchecking enable will
disable ALL Wi-Fi connectivity in this location.
Figure 84 : Wi-Fi Management
Entering APs into the Managed Access Points list will turn off Zero Config and force the endpoint
to connect ONLY to the APs listed when they're available. If the Managed APs are not available,
the ZSC will fall back to the Filtered Access Point List (see below). APs entered into Prohibited
Access Points will never display in Zero Config.
Note:
The access point list is only supported on the Windows XP operating system. Prior to deploying an access
point list, it is recommended all endpoints clear the preferred networks list out of Zero Config.
