Points to Note:

  1. The QR code can be downloaded and shared with authorized users via email of any other safe sharing methods.

  2. The QR code can be printed and also shared with authorized users. However with printing, you need to ensure that the print is very clear. The edges of the code needs to be very visible. If some parts of the code are not visible. The app installation process will not be successful.

There are two ways to set up the EMDMS app on a mobile device.

  1. The QR Code method

  2. The apk file download method.

The QR Code Method

The QR code method only applies to either new devices or devices that have just been factory reset. This is because the user needs to scan the code with the inbuilt Android app QR scanner and this inbuilt scanner is only triggered during a new device set up.

Steps to set up the device using the QR code method;

  1. For a new new device,

    1. Turn on the device

    2. On the Get started page (the page where you’d be required to set up your language preference & email), don’t click on “start” rather tap on the page about 6 times consequitively to launch the QR scanner

  2. For a device already in use,

    1. Factory reset the device

    2. On the Get started page (the page where you’d be required to set up your language preference & email), don’t click on “start” rather tap on the page about 6 times consecutively to launch the QR scanner

The QR scanner displays like the device camera. so if the scanner has been successfully initiated, you will see the camera displayed on the device

3. Point the QR scanner (the camera view on the device) to the QR code shown in Fig. 4 above. If the QR code scanned is the correct one, the device will redirect you to the WiFi set-up page to enable you to set up an internet connection on the device to complete the download & installation of the EMDMS app

4b. Complete device set up - The EMDMS app provisions the device in full management mode

Full management mode means that the EMDMS app will have full control of all areas of the device. The user will only be able to access other apps & functionalities of the device from the SmartMDM dashboard.

4c. Upon successfully provisioning the devices as shown in Fig. 5 & 6 above, the user will be required to launch the SmartMDM app from the list of apps.
