    How To Enable the Remote Control on Zebra Devices Using Scalefusion?

    Share On

    Remote troubleshooting is not only essential but a crucial part of the digital enablement of the remote workforce. When the frontline employee devices run into an error, device downtime is inevitable without remote support. This can not only cause business loss but also lead to excess costs incurred in bringing the device to a physical service center, troubleshooting it and then having it dispatched back to the employee working out in the field.

    Scalefusion MDM steps in actively, to extend remote support for managed devices used in the enterprise environment- by remote as well as field workers. For select Android devices, Scalefusion offers Remote Cast and Control wherein the IT support teams can not only mirror the remote device screens on their dashboard but also take control, navigate and perform actions for rapid issue resolution. Furthermore, the advanced integrated ticketing helps in creating context-aware tickets for the unresolved issues, making the troubleshooting process more efficient and streamlined than ever.

    Scalefusion now supports Remote Control for Zebra devices that are known for their ruggedized hardware that can withstand harsh environments and sustain field use. In this article, we will explore the step-by-step process of how to enable remote control on Zebra devices.

    How to enable Remote Control on Zebra devices:

    Getting started

    To begin with, for certain Zebra devices- Android OS 7 and below, the Remote Control feature will be accessible once the Remote Control App (native app of Scalefusion) is installed. For other Zebra devices- Android OS 8 and above, the feature will have to be pushed through OEM configuration. 

    To get started, ensure that Scalefusion app version 7.4.0(784) and above is installed on the device, the RemoteCast app version 3.5.0(42), and above is installed on the device and the MX version on the Zebra device should be 8.3 & above.

    Step 1:

    Navigate to the Enterprise section of the dashboard and select the My Apps option.
