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 8.1 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 an Android 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. In this way, 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 at a future time.

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

Managed Configuration​

Each customizable setting is a part of the managed configuration for the device. The following sections contain this information for each setting:

  • A brief description
  • Any dependencies on other settings
  • Valid ranges and the default value

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

Configuration defaults​

EMMs have varying behavior in how they handle default values and determining which settings to send. In many cases, a setting will not be sent to the device if it is left blank. This can be useful to avoid changing the existing setting on a device. The following top-level setting may also be used to force all device settings to a known condition.

  • Apply all defaults: Set the device to defaults values before applying individual settings from an EMM. The default value is false.

    note

    Scan2Deploy Studio does not offer this feature. Instead it offers the ability to select which individual settings are applied by selecting the checkbox next to the name of each setting.
