Enrolling Devices

Overview

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 - see Managing Devices for the list of supported devices. Depending on the device, you may need to install a SOTI MobiControl Device Agents on your device.
