Generating a Barcode

Barcode Generator is a method that can be used to provision the MobiControl Agent on devices by scanning barcodes.

The generated barcode will encode all the necessary information to allow the device to connect to the MobiControl Deployment Server.

The following series of steps describes how to Generate a Barcode:

1. Start the wizard

   In Device Agent Manager, select the appropriate Device Agent, then click Provision Device, click Generate Barcode:


Select a Configuration Profile.

You can select a Profile available from the list or create a new Profile using Configuration Profile Manager.



3. Generate Barcode

Click on Generate

If a Configuration Profile is selected from the list, it will generate the Barcode with encoded settings according to that Profile.

If "Create new profile" is selected from the list, it will open the Configuration Profile Manager wizard to create a new Profile. The barcode will be generated at the end of this wizard.



Note:

If you have not checked the Include Connection Settings option, the Barcode will be generated only with the MobiControl Device settings information.

You can click on "Print" to print the barcode or click on "Export to PDF" to export it to a PDF file to print at a later date.
