Patent ID: 8180328

Claim:
A processor for executing a wireless manager to configure and secure wireless access to a network, wherein the processor is configured to: display a graphical user interface that includes a map associated with a location in a network and multiple access points associated with the location in the network; generate an access zone that identifies a geographic space associated with the location in the network in response to one or more inputs to the graphical user interface, wherein the one or more inputs to the graphical user interface define a polygon region that corresponds to the geographic space associated with the access zone; triangulate a physical position associated with a client device that requested wireless access to the network relative to the geographic space associated with the access zone, wherein the access zone includes one or more security parameters that control wireless access to the network relative to the geographic space associated with the access zone; and authorize the client device to wirelessly access the network if the physical position associated with the client device does not violate the one or more security parameters associated with the access zone that control wireless access to the network.
