Enrolling Devices

Before you can manage your devices, you need to enroll them into SOTI MobiControl. That is, establish a connection between the device and the SOTI MobiControl deployment server. Once a connection is established, the device will appear in the SOTI MobiControl console where you can apply settings, collect data, install applications, and more.

Device enrollment differs between operating systems. Depending on the device, you may need to install a SOTI MobiControl Device Agents on your device.

Supported Devices

SOTI MobiControl can manage devices running one of the following operating systems. Due to the variability of functionality across operating systems, SOTI MobiControl groups similar device types into 'Platforms'. Always ensure you are working within the right platform for your device type.
