OEMConfig

Installing the App

The Datalogic OEMConfig can be installed through Google Play, an Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solution, or by using Scan2Deploy.

Overview​

The application is compatible with Datalogic devices running Android 8 and above. The Datalogic OEMConfig application is published to your device by your Enterprise Mobility Solution (EMM) provider through the EMM administrator console. Please refer to your EMM's instructions on how to add and deploy OEMConfig to your devices.

Important

OEMConfig can only be configured through an EMM administrator console. The OEMConfig application is a foreground service; it doesn't have a user interface or launcher icon. You can verify that OEMConfig is installed on your device by going to Settings > Apps & notifications > App info.

The following links provide more information about Android Enterprise and OEMConfig.

Releases​

A list of released versions of OEMConfig is available here.

Applying Managed Configurations​

The managed configuration contains the device settings exposed by OEMConfig. Your EMM administrator console provides an interface to view and make changes to the managed configuration. Once configured, the EMM will publish the customized configuration to the device to be applied by the Datalogic OEMConfig application. Refer to your EMM's instructions on how to edit and send the managed configuration to your devices.

Once the EMM has published the custom configuration, the OEMConfig application will be notified and will automatically begin applying the custom configuration to the device. In most cases, the configuration should be applied in less than one minute.

Updates to the managed configuration and Datalogic OEMConfig app will be uploaded to Managed Google Play. The EMM will sync with the latest version of Datalogic OEMConfig. Therefore, the latest updates and features will always be available for use.

Feedback Channel​

The application feedback channel is a mechanism to provide configuration results to an administrator. Once a managed configuration is deployed, a feedback state will be created for each restriction received. This state will either be INFO (success) or ERROR (failure), and will contain the sent value and other relevant data.

The report will then be available for retrieval by the EMM administrator console. The report may not be immediately available (a request for immediate feedback retrieval is allowed three times per device in a 24-hr period), but will be retrieved within some time frame.

For information regarding feedback channel support within the EMM administrator console, please contact your EMM provider.

Managed Configuration Restrictions​

Each customizable setting in the managed configuration is a restriction type.

The following sections contain:

  • A description of each restriction in the managed configuration
  • Any dependencies on other restrictions
  • Valid value ranges and data types
  • The restriction's default value

A brief description of each restriction should also be presented in the EMM administrator console.
