Configuring Profiles

A profile allows you to manage configurations and settings centrally, and then deploy those configurations to as many locations and devices as necessary. Use profiles to update or modify multiple servers or devices instead of manually changing settings for each one.

The types of profiles include:

•AIDC mobile device profile. A mobile device profile manages settings on your Windows Mobile/CE (AIDC) mobile devices, as well as adding, changing, and removing custom properties and registry keys. For more information, see Managing AIDC Mobile Device Profiles.

•Smart mobile device profile. A smart device profile is a collection of payloads that configure settings on Android devices. For more information, see Managing Smart Mobile Device Profiles.

•Mobile device server profile. A mobile device server profile configures how the mobile device server interacts with devices and the Enterprise Server. For more information, see Creating and Configuring a Mobile Device Server Profile.

•Smart device server profile. A smart device server profile allows you to configure push notifications, HTTPS configuration, and smart device administration. For more information, see Creating and Configuring a Smart Device Server Profile.

•Alert profile. An alert profile allows you to track events on your network and send notifications by email or proxy server. For more information, see Creating and Configuring Alert Profiles.

•Network profile. A network profile provides gateway addresses, subnet masks, WWAN settings, and encryption and authentication information to devices on your network. For more information, see Managing Network Profiles.

•Software profile. A software profile allows you to control where and when software and files are distributed to mobile devices. For more information, see Managing Software Profiles.

•Scan to Config profile. A Scan to Config profile allows you to print network settings as bar codes; then the settings are applied on the device when they are scanned. For more information, see Managing Scan to Configure Profiles.
