FAQs - Mobile Device Management

If do you use several tens of mobile units then mobile device management is nearly the need. It may be not only the system for the on-the-fly mobile units management but usually it is useful to prepare easily and quickly new mobile units, units returned from the repair, to re-configure them for the use on different sites etc. But a mobile device management may be a benefit also in smaller implementations.

Especially in the case if mobile units utilize "thick client" application that needs to be more or less frequently updated it is a good idea to consider the use of a mobile device management thoroughly. Such a system enables application distribution remotely without the need to collect the devices physically on one place. That may be an issue many times, especially with mobile devices used in the field (WWAN devices, devices on different sites etc.). Thus, a mobile device management can facilitate the job of IT workers significantly.

Mobile device management systems can collect and analyze data about the use of mobile device sources like number of bacode scans, memory or battery utilization, Wi-Fi adapter status etc. It is a benefit when determining the trends and makes mobile device inventory more sophisticated and helpful.

 

Ivanti Avalanche can be recommended especially in situations where the customer uses a Microsoft Windows CE/Windows Mobile device and uses one of Ivanti Wavelink's client programs as an end application: terminal emulation (TelnetCE)VelocityCE or Wavelink Industrial Browser. It is the interoperability with Ivanti Wavelink products that makes the deployment of Avalanche attractive in terms of easier implementation and subsequent operation of such an ecosystem.

In other cases, especially for managing Android OS devices, it is more practical to use Soti MobiControl (on-premise or cloud) or 42Gears SureMDM (cloud).

Ivanti Avalanche lze doporučit zejména v situacích, kdy zákazník používá zařízení s Microsoft Windows CE/Windows Mobile a jako koncovou aplikaci využívá některý z klientských programů od společnosti Ivanti Wavelink: terminálovou emulaci (TelnetCE), VelocityCE nebo Wavelink Industrial Browser. Právě provázanost s produkty Ivanti Wavelink hovoří pro nasazení Avalanche, a to z hlediska jednodušší implementace a pak i následného provozu takového ekosystému.

V ostatních případech, zejména pro správu zařízení s Android OS je praktičtější použití Soti MobiControl (on-premise nebo cloud) nebo 42Gears SureMDM (cloud).

Soti MobiControl has no default password. When installing Soti MobiControl, it will prompt you to enter the password for the "Administrator". Therefore, use Username = Administrator and the password entered during system installation.

If you enter the password incorrectly a few times and you have set the maximum number of attempts, the user account will be locked. If you lock all MobiControl accounts in this way, contact Soti support to unlock them.
