The PDI WiFi tab displays the status of the PDI Secure WiFi Device Manager application running on the SC//AcuVigil™ edge security device (ESD). The application automatically manages the WiFi devices at a site. Use this tab to review the management devices and the resident devices on the site WiFi, and to remove resident devices.
The tab shows the managed WiFi devices and the settings for this site. For an overview of the application, see PDI WiFi.
