Configure Zebra Android using barcodes

Can I configure my Zebra Android device with barcodes?

There are 3 apps available in the factory settings for staging your Zebra Android device using barcodes:

  • StageNow (on Android KitKat and later) = a client of the same name from Zebra, which can configure Android autonomously or using an FTP server
  • Rapid Deployment = older staging client working with an FTP server, client for MSP and AirWatch systems, no longer supported on Android 7+.
  • MobiControl Stage (on Android KitKat and Lollipop) = SOTI MobiControl client

To run the demo, all you'll need besides your own Zebra Android mobile device is a configured internet connection and FTP communication enabled on port 21:

  • Connect your device to the internet

  • Launch the StageNow app

  • Scan the 2D barcode marked with a red 1 or all numbered 1D codes from one of the following documents depending on your Android version:

  • Upon successful connection, the Microsoft Remote Desktop, Ivanti Velocity, and Enterprise Home Screen apps will be installed
  • Enterprise Home Screen locks the device desktop and publishes 3 icons: Remote Desktop, Velocity, and Calculator
  • Try it out:
    •  Remote Desktop to connect to a remote server using RDP

    • Velocity to connect to an IBM terminal server accessible via the Internet and connect to a web server (mobilitysolutions.cz)

  • To enter Enterprise Home Screen admin mode, select Tools > Admin Login (password is abcd)

  • To return to Enterprise Home Screen user mode, select Tools > Admin Logout

  • To uninstall the above demo, run StageNow (available via the Tools menu) and remove the 2D barcode marked with a red 1 or all numbered 1D codes from the MSWebDemo_Uninstall.pdf document. The Remote Desktop, Ivanti Velocity and Enterprise Home Screen applications will be uninstalled and the device will automatically reboot.
