Connecting Android Devices

Android smart devices can be enrolled in Avalanche using an Avalanche Enabler application. Android devices can be enrolled in Avalanche using the following management modes:

Device admin mode is used for company-owned devices, since it has full control over the device and its data. Device admin mode uses the standard Avalanche enabler. (Requires Android 4.1+.)

Android Enterprise work profile mode is typically used for employee-owned devices (BYOD), since it creates a work profile that is distinct from the rest of the device. Work profile mode uses the Android Enterprise enabler. (Requires Android 5.1+.)

Android Enterprise fully managed mode is typically used for company-owned devices, since it has full control over the device and its data. Fully managed mode uses the Android Enterprise enabler. Fully managed devices can also be put into dedicated device mode (kiosk/lock task). (Requires Android 6.0+.)

In addition to installing the Enabler, you must create at least one enrollment rule in order to connect Android devices to the server. For information about creating enrollment rules, see Creating Enrollment Rules for Smart Devices.

Android devices also require an SSL certificate to securely connect to the smart device server. For more information, see Obtaining SSL Certificates.
