Device Plugins
Device plugins complement Android device agents to provide additional management capabilities. You do not need to install a device plugin in addition to the device agent, though they are recommended to fully capitalize on SOTI MobiControl features. Device plugins are installed on devices following the installation of a device agent. They are periodically updated with new features. You can install device plugins during enrollment or at a later date.
This section contains the following topics and folders:
- Downloading New Android Plugins
- Installing Android Device Plugins
- Updating Android Device Plugins in the SOTI MobiControl Database
- Updating Android Device Plugins on Devices
Some examples of the additional capabilities provided by device plugins include, but are not limited to:
- Remote Control Enhancements
- APN Support
- More Feature Control options
Each plugin is specific to a particular manufacturer and not all features are available on every plugin. Make sure you choose the device plugin that corresponds to your devices' model, even for devices enrolled with Android Enterprise device agents.
