Introduction

This guide describes how to enroll an Android scanner in MobiControl.

If the device is brand new and has never been used before, it might not be required to perform the Factory Reset.
You can thus skip the first part about Factory Reset and go straight to Enrollment.

Factory Reset

This section outlines the steps required to perform a factory reset on a scanner.
There are two approaches, one for manual factory reset and one specifically for Zebra devices.

Manual Factory Reset

You will need to go through the following steps (see pictures for reference):

1. Go to Settings
2. Click on System
3. Click on Advanced
4. Click on Reset options
5. Click on Erase all data (factory reset) - it is important that you do not select any "enterprise reset" option.
6. Click on Erase all data

The scanner is now ready to be enrolled in MobiControl, as described in the following section.

Zebra QR code factory reset

Zebra scanners have an app called “Stage Now” pre-installed on them.

To initiate the factory reset, simply open the “Stage Now” app and scan this barcode:

The scanner is now ready to be enrolled in MobiControl, as described in the section below.

Enroll The Scanner In MobiControl

This section outlines how to enroll a scanner into the device management system MobiControl, which can be done on either a brand-new scanner that has not been used before or an “old” scanner that has been factory reset as described in the previous section.

1. Once you start the scanner, you are given the following screen to choose either option.
   
2. Click on Lets Go
   
3. Welcome to your Device Screen: click Set up as new
4. Connect to your WIFI
5. On the Copy apps & data screen, click Don't copy
6. In the email, field input afw#mobicontrol and press next
   
   
7. Accept that the device is allowed to install MobiControl | Android Enterprise
8. MobiControl will now be installed
9. Click next to set up MobiControl
10. Accept that the application can monitor the device
11. Open MobiControl on the scanner and enter the Enrollment ID shared on the service desk.

The device will now be configured automatically, which takes around 5 minutes. During this time, it will play different sounds that might sound a bit strange, but this is intended, and the scanner should be left alone to finish.

On some devices, you may have to give MobiControl a few extra permissions after enrollment; it will present itself like this:

Press on the Please give Notification access permission.

Then select MobiControl from the list:

Click Allow Modifying system settings:

Then click allow again here:

That will complete the steps.

Verification of Setup

Once the device is ready, you can verify the installation by performing the following steps:

1. Open MobiControl on the device
   
2. Verify that the status says Connected
   
   

The device is enrolled on MobiControl and resides in the "New Devices" folder.

Before you can use the device, a Mobile WMS license needs to be applied to it.

To get this, open a ticket on the service desk.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Firewall port 5494 must be opened for outbound connections for MobiControl to work. The Mobicontrol Server has the IP address 40.68.196.181 and hostname ds1.mobi.taskletfactory.com and ds1.mob2.taskletfactory.com + 40.114.220.164 port 5494.
   If you have trouble enrolling devices, the firewall may not have opened yet.
   You can enroll the scanners using a mobile phone by sharing the phone's internet connection and connecting the scanner to a mobile phone hotspot.
2. The device is enrolled incorrectly if you haven't used the afw#mobicontrol, as seen in step 6 of Enroll The Scanner In MobiControl.
   A factory reset of the device is required, and you must follow the guide again carefully.
   This error can happen if the device has been logged in and the Google Play Store is used to download MobiControl.
3. When a device is enrolled, and you get the message Package not found then this is because the device is in the New Devices folder.
4. If you see the message License Invalid, then open a ticket on the service desk.
   When you buy a license, Tasklet applies the license to a device, which we can only do after enrollment.
5. If you see the error "Enroll on SafetyNet Attestation Failure" when enrolling a device, contact Tasklet Factory to solve the issue.
6. If you enroll an Android 10 device, remember to inform Tasklet Factory as those devices require extra attention.
7. You can use the same Enrollment ID for the same devices. If you acquire different models, inform Tasklet, and we'll provide or update the Enrollment ID.
8. If you have any issues or questions, you can always open a ticket on the support desk, and we'll assist right away!
