Connecting iOS Devices
Smart devices using iOS 5.0+ can be enrolled in Avalanche. Before iOS devices can connect to Avalanche, you must supply Avalanche with an Apple Push Notification Service (APNS) certificate. For more information, see Obtaining an APNS Certificate for iOS.
Smart devices also require an SSL certificate to securely connect to the smart device server. For more information, see Obtaining SSL Certificates.

Connecting an iOS device to the Avalanche server

https://[Smart device server address]/mdm/
For the server address, use the smart device server's hostname or IP address. Unless the IP address is publicly available, it can only be accessed by devices connected to your local area network.
2.Provide the Enrollment ID and Password.
3.Click Enroll.
The device is placed in the folder associated with the enrollment rule and receives the smart device profiles applied to the folder.
