(AX-3.6 and later) WifiPlatformService is the station’s interface to a WiFi-equipped JACE, providing views to discover and connect to a wireless 802.11 network, as well as a “secondary view” to install CA (Certificate Authority) certificate files and client private key files on the JACE. Note the latter view is typically not needed, unless installing the JACE on an “enterprise level” wireless network that uses either WPA or WPA2 security, based upon digital certificates.

The WifiPlatformService automatically appears in the station’s PlatformServices if the controller has a WiFi adapter—at the time of this document, this means a JACE-700 series (JVLN) controller with a WiFi option. For general information, see WiFi Configuration.
