Wi-Fi Payload (Android/iOS)

A Wi-Fi payload provisions devices with Wi-Fi settings to connect to a Wi-Fi network. This may include the SSID and password, encryption and authentication types, and proxy settings. If multiple Wi-Fi payloads are deployed to the same device, the priority in which networks are connected to is determined at the device level and cannot be set in Avalanche.

If a Wi-Fi payload is unapplied in Avalanche, the Wi-Fi settings are not removed from affected Android devices. If you want to remove the settings at the device level, you must perform a selective wipe on the desired devices or remove the settings manually.

A Wi-Fi payload has the following options:

ClosedAndroid

When a Wi-Fi payload is deployed to an Android device, it has a higher priority over other manual and auto-scan Wi-Fi connections. The device will always attempt to connect to wireless networks from Avalanche payloads before attempting other networks.

Service set identifier

The SSID of the Wi-Fi network.

Auto join
