Overview

Figure 1.  Enterprise Templates AP Scans Page

The Enterprise Templates AP Scans page (Fig. 1) allows you to configure AP scanning settings for the selected Enterprise Template.  AP scanning will actively scan for available wireless networks in range of your network to assist you in identifying possible security threats for PCI DSS compliance.
