Eos Tools Pro App Configuration for Mobile Device Management MDM

Eos Tools Pro App Configuration for Mobile Device Management (MDM)

In this document you will find resources and best practices for configuring the Eos Tools Pro (ETP) mobile app across multiple devices in your organization. By following these guidelines, you will benefit from a seamless out-of-the box experience and secure, work-ready app environment within ETP while using your existing Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution (e.g., UEM, EMM, MDM).

In this document, we have grouped the main configurable parameters of our ETP app into five categories, which will be discussed in detail in the following guide:

  • Differential Corrections Parameters
  • Altitude and Geoid Model Parameters
  • Datum Shift Parameters
  • Alarm Parameters
  • Miscellaneous Parameters

On This Page: Table of Contents

1. Getting started

1.1 What is Mobile Device Management?

Mobile Device Management (MDM) refers to software used for the administration of official mobile devices across an organization. Organizations benefit from using MDM technology because it helps them enhance their data and network security, as well as set and enforce mobile policies. Additionally, using an MDM increases the efficiency of app deployments and the management for administrators, including the frequency and substance of app updates.

1.2 How to Deploy a Custom Application Configuration?

App configuration (AppConfig) refers to a format for providing application settings (such as differential corrections and altitude reference, in our case) within Eos Tools Pro (ETP). Instead of configuring these settings manually each time the ETP app is installed on a mobile device at your organization, you may use your MDM to not only deploy the app on this mobile device remotely, but also specify and apply pre-determined configurations automatically.

These settings are defined via a dictionary of key-value pairs in an XML file. How the dictionary is created depends on which MDM you’re using. In the next chapter we will cover usage of each of the categories of ETP parameters that you may wish to pre-set in your MDM.

1.3 About the Five Categories of Parameters That Follow

When preparing to deploy ETP to your organization’s mobile devices via an MDM, there are some common settings you might wish to configure. These settings, or parameters, are divided into the categories that follow this section.

2. Differential Corrections Parameters

The following parameters are supported on ETP AppConfig for differential corrections.

IMPORTANT: If no value is entered for the diffType key, then the entire Differential Corrections group is MDM disabled, regardless of the values entered for any other key within the group. Therefore, if you wish to administer your Differential Corrections settings via MDM, you must define a value for the diffType key.

5. Alarm Parameters

The following parameters are supported on ETP AppConfig for Alarms.

IMPORTANT: If no value is entered for the alarmMonitoringEnabled key, then the entire Alarms group is MDM-disabled, regardless of values entered for any other key within the group.
