Android

An Android device can be configured as a User Owned Device or a Work Managed Device. The two types of configuration are explained in this chapter.

 

Work Managed Device

Configuring a device as a work managed device gives more control to the administrator. A work managed device restricts the user from installing apps other than the ones specified by the administrator. Only the apps specified by the administrator will be visible in the Google Play Store.

Complete the following steps to configure a work managed device:

1.	Switch on a new device (or a device that switched on after factory data reset).

2.	Select the language and click Start.

3.	Connect to a Wi-fi network and click Next.

4.	Select Agree to all for the Terms and Conditions. Click Next.

5.	In the Verifying your account screen, specify afw#deepfreeze for Email or phone.

 

 

User Owned Device

Configuring a mobile device as a user owned device gives more control to the user. The user of the mobile device can install their own apps in addition to the apps installed by the administrator via Deep Freeze MDM. A BYOD device is usually configured as a user owned device. However, a device owned by the organization can also be configured as a user owned device.

Configuring a user owned device consists of the following:

•	Android for Work - configuring Android for Work to connect Deep Freeze MDM to Google Mobile Device Management.

•	On Device Setup - to connect the device to Deep Freeze MDM.

 

Android for Work

Complete the following steps to configure Android for Work:

1.	Go to Deep Freeze Cloud.

2.	Click MDM.

3.	Go to Settings > Android for Work.

4.	Select the Enrollment Type. For example, select Managed Play Store account.

5.	Click Next.

6.	Specify the username and password. Click Sign-in.

7.	Click Get Started.

8.	Specify the Organization Name.

9.	Select I have read and agree to the managed Google Play agreement.

10.	Click Next.

11.	Click Complete Registration.

Now Deep Freeze MDM is connected to Google Mobile Device Management.

 

On Device Setup

Complete the following steps on the Android device:

1.	Go to the Google Play Store.

2.	Search for Deep Freeze MDM.

3.	Click Install.

4.	Launch the Deep Freeze MDM app.

5.	Specify the network ID in the format XXX-XXX-XXXX. Alternatively, you can also scan the QR code.

6.	Click Enroll this device.
