Deploying Zone Settings to the MDM Server

Deploying zone settings allows the MDM administrator to enforce specific policies, restrictions, and configurations to devices within a defined geographic or logical area (a “zone”). Once deployed, the MDM server pushes these settings to all applicable devices automatically.

Step 1: Define or Configure a Zone (link to the previous section)

Navigate to WebUI → Geofencing / Zones.
Create a new zone or select an existing one.
Set parameters such as:
- Zone type: Geographic (latitude/longitude) or logical (department, floor, etc.).
- Radius: If geographic, define coverage area.
- Activation times: Optional scheduling for when the zone is active.

Step 2: Configure Zone Settings (link to the previous section)

Go to Zone Settings / Policy Mapping.
Assign relevant configurations:
- Wi-Fi, VPN, or network policies
- App restrictions or allowed apps
- Device restrictions (camera, Bluetooth, screen capture)
Ensure these settings are linked to the correct zone.

Step 3: Associate Policies with the Zone

Navigate to Policies → Assign to Zone.
Select the desired policies (app, restriction, or device policies).
Link them to the zone you defined.

Step 4: Deploy to MDM Server

Once policies are linked:
1. Click Deploy / Push to MDM Server.
2. Confirm deployment.
The MDM server now registers the zone settings and schedules delivery to applicable devices.

Step 5: Device Behavior

Entering a Zone: Devices automatically receive and enforce the assigned policies.
Exiting a Zone: Policies may be reverted or updated based on your configuration (e.g., restore default settings).

Step 6: Verification

Check the Device Overview Dashboard or logs to ensure policies are applied.
Verify device compliance with the zone settings.

Key Notes

Only devices enrolled in the MDM server and within the defined zone receive the settings.

Always test zone deployment in a limited pilot group before wide-scale rollout.
