Apple Device Enrollment Program

Apple allows eligible organizations to perform setup-free deployment of iOS devices through the Device Enrollment Program (DEP). Wavelink Avalanche is designed to work with this program, eliminating the need to individually set up each iOS device purchased. By using DEP through Apple, you can associate Avalanche services with any newly-purchased device and automatically apply payloads to it prior to shipping. When your Smart device arrives, it already contains all policy changes you require and can immediately be distributed.

To participate in Apple DEP with Avalanche:

A DEP-enrolled Apple IDs

iOS 7.0+ devices purchased directly through Apple

To enable setup-free DEP with Avalanche:

1.Create enrollment rules for DEP. From the Avalanche Console, you can create a DEP enrollment rule that works in tandem with Apple to automatically enroll devices assigned to your Apple account and apply payloads to devices purchased directly from Apple. For more information, see Creating Enrollment Rules for Smart Devices.

2.Ensure devices are purchased directly from Apple. Devices must be purchased directly from Apple using an enrolled Apple ID. Once purchased, you can distribute policy changes to them with Avalanche using features like a Software Payload. To enroll your Apple ID for DEP, see Apple Deployment Programs. To verify if an iOS device was purchased directly from Apple, continue to the next step.

You cannot purchase Apple devices through Avalanche. Devices must be purchased directly from Apple using an enrolled Apple ID, and then you can distribute policy changes to them with Avalanche using features like a Software Payload.

3.Integrate Avalanche with Apple DEP. After enrolling in DEP, you must set up both Avalanche and Apple for integration of services. From the Apple console, you add your Avalanche Smart device server to allow automatic enrollment and payload delivery for newly-purchased Smart devices. To integrate Avalanche with Apple DEP, see Using Avalanche as an MDM Server for Apple DEP.

For a complete tutorial on setting up Apple DEP for use in Avalanche, see the video below.
