Configuration Profile Manager |
Configuration Profile Manager is an interface that allows the user to create, edit and delete Configuration Profiles. The Profile includes initial configuration like Wireless ZeroConfig, Summit Wireless settings, Cellular connection (APN) settings and MobiControl Device Agent settings for Windows Mobile and Windows CE powered devices that will be managed by SOTI MobiControl.
The Configuration Profile Manager displays a list of existing Profiles that have been created (the list will be empty if there is no Profile created as yet), and allows user to create, edit or delete Profiles. Users can also import and export Profiles
To create a new Configuration Profile, click on the New button.
To edit an existing Profile, click on the Edit button.
Note:
When you edit an existing Profile, the existing version number will automatically be incremented by 1.
To delete an obsolete Profile, click on the Delete button.
To import a Profile from file, click on the Import/Export button and then select Import From file
To export Profile to a file, click on the Import/Export button and then select Export To file
- Creating a Configuration Profile.
The Configuration Profile Manager will allow you to create a Configuration Profile.
Click on New -> Create New to create a new Configuration Profile:
Field Name Description Profile Name Enter the name of the profile you want to create Version This field displays the current version number of the Configuration Profile. Comment Enter a description for this package. You can optionally leave this field blank. Encryption Type Simple: Simple encryption uses a SOTI algorithm to encrypt the data before generation the barcode. This option creates the smallest footprint for the barcode. It is the default option and recommended if enhanced security is not required.
AES256 Fixed Password:
Encrypts data with AES 256 algorithm. This option uses a fixed password and the barcode will be able to read by ANY device having the MobiScan Agent.
AES256:
Encrypts data with AES 256 algorithm. When using this option, you must enter password to generate the barcode. This password will then be required by the end user to configure the device.Password If AES256 Encryption is used, enter a password to generate the barcode. This password will then be required by the end user to configure the device. Click on Next to continue

Note:
If the option Verify connection is established before continuing is checked, it will wait for the connection to be established (which can last for up to 45 seconds). This option is important if you are attempting to connect to the network immediately. If this option is not checked, it will continue without waiting for the connection to be established and set the configured settings as an active Summit Profile.
Advanced Settings:
This set of options allow the user to configure advanced settings for that Summit Wireless Profile.
