WiFi Configuration

WiFi Configuration appears among platform views, along with a WiFi Certificate Manager view, only for a JACE host ( AX-3.6 or later) that has an installed 802.11b/g wireless WiFi adapter. In NiagaraAX, this applies only to a JACE-700 with a Mini-PCI WiFi adapter card (T7-WIFI option).

NOTE: Although JACE-8000 controllers have WiFi capability, it is not supported when running AX.

This view lets you discover 802.11b/g networks available to the JACE, and add one or more networks, as necessary.

NOTE: The running station on the JACE also has a "WifiPlatformService" among its platform services. Its default "Wifi Platform Service Pluginview is identical to the WiFi Configuration view.

Refer to the Engineering Notes II document "NiagaraAX JACE WiFi option" for complete details, including usage scenario, configuring the JACE for WiFi, and further details on this view.
