CentOS - Nov 2016 - Headless Centos 7 "File and Print Server" install - configure WIFI

Google has done it's usual job and returned lots of results but not led me
to
a solution.

I've just build a Centos 7 "File and Print Server" config, i.e. no
screen/keyboard/mouse and no GUI installed.

The LAN connection has worked out of the box and I can SSH into the server 
without issue.

However, I cannot find out how to configure the WIFI connection which I need 
in order to provide Air Print services.

I'm using a USB dongle which the kernel has recognised and provides me with
a
device.  I can use that device to scan for available WIFI networks.  What I 
can't do is configure a connection so that the server can connect to the the
WIFI network.

Can anyone help with a link to suitable instructions?

Cheers

Gary

After all that, it was simply a case of going into nmtui and adding a WIFI 
connection.

I had tried that before, but it must have been before I moved the WIFI dongle 
to a different USB port.
