Remote Control on Zebra devices via OEM Configurations

Zebra devices require some special configurations for Scalefusion Remote Control to work. There are certain Zebra devices on which Remote Control works simply by installing Remote Control app like on other devices whereas there are others which require OEM configurations to be done to make Remote Control work. The devices are differentiated on the following basis:

• Android OS 7 and below: Zebra devices with OS 7 and below (For example TC25) simply require latest Scalefusion and Remote Control apps installed on their devices. No extra settings need to be done.
• Android OS 8 and above: Zebra devices with OS 8 and above (For example TC26, TC52) require OEM configurations to be done which when applied on Zebra devices make Remote Control work on them.

This document describes OEM configurations required for enabling Remote Control feature on Zebra Devices, that is, the devices having OS 8 and above.
