3. How Endpoint Protector
MDM Works
For Endpoint Protector Mobile Device Management to be able to manage your
mobile iOS and Android devices the communication between the devices and the
Endpoint Protector Appliance over an internet connection is vital. Management
actions need to arrive at your device either by a data connection like 3G in case
of an iPhone or over an internet connection if the device does not have a data
connection like an iPad (with Wi-Fi only), an Android tablet or a MacBook.
For the management actions to arrive at the device the actions are send using
for iOS devices the Apple Push Notification Service (short APNS) and for Android
device the Google Cloud Messaging Service (short GCM). To simplify the setup of
your Endpoint Protector MDM service the Endpoint Protector Cloud is
communicating between your Endpoint Protector Appliance (the Administration
and Management Server) and the Apple and Google Services with your devices.
For the communication to work between your mobile devices and Endpoint
Protector it is required that you setup the APNS and GCM settings as described in
the following steps.
