Scan2Deploy Barcode Only

Overview​

A Barcode Only Scan2Deploy profile holds all of its data in the barcode itself, so there is no .tar file to host. Instead of scanning the barcode, your MDM sends the same data to the Scan2Deploy Agent on the device in an intent, and the agent applies the profile.

Barcode Only profiles support the following actions:

For any other action, such as installing apps or configuring Datalogic Launcher, use a Host Profile.

Before you begin​

Complete the steps in Scan2Deploy: Before you begin, and read What both have in common for how MDM-deployed profiles behave.

Create the profile​

These steps set up a profile that your MDM can send to the devices. What the profile changes on the device is up to you: you choose it in Add your configuration.

Start the profile

  1. Open Scan2Deploy Studio.
  2. On the Welcome page, select Create Profile.
  3. On the Action Selection page, select the device Model, SKU, and OS Version.
  4. Under Configuration Actions, select Barcode Only.

Add your configuration

  1. Select the actions for the settings you want to change on the devices. Wi-Fi Setup is selected by default; clear it if your MDM manages Wi-Fi.
  2. Select the > arrow to open the page of each selected action.
  3. If you kept Wi-Fi Setup, clear Remove saved networks on the Wi-Fi Setup page to keep the networks already on the device, such as those set by your MDM. It is selected by default.
  4. On each page, set the settings you want to apply. See the Scan2Deploy Studio documentation for each action.

Prepare the profile for your MDM

  1. On the Save and Scan page, select the Settings tab.
  2. Under Scan2Deploy QR Code Settings, check that Version is set to V3.
  3. Select Silent Deploy, so the profile is applied in the background without the Scan2Deploy Agent opening on the screen of a device that may be in use.
  4. Select Save.
  5. Select Copy.
  6. Copy the data for your MDM:
    • SOTI MobiControl, SureMDM, and Workspace ONE: Select EMM Intent, then select your MDM (SOTI MobiControl, SureMDM, or Airwatch Intelligent Hub). The intent is copied, formatted for your MDM.
    • Microsoft Intune: Select Profile Data, then select Encrypted data.

See Save and Scan for more details on the copy options.

Deploy the profile​

These steps are based on SOTI's Sending Scripts to Devices guide. The SOTI MobiControl intent copied from Scan2Deploy Studio is a sendintent script command.

Send the profile to the devices

  1. Sign in to the SOTI MobiControl web console.
  2. Navigate to Devices.
  3. Select the target device or device group.
  4. Select Send Script.
  5. Select New Script.
  6. Set Script Type to Custom.
  7. Paste the SOTI MobiControl intent copied from Scan2Deploy Studio.
  8. Select Send.
  9. Verify that the profile is applied, either on the device or in the session status file /sdcard/Download/S2DStatus.log.
