Mobile Device Management (MDM)

Managing mobile devices is performed using a connection to N-able N-central's Mobile Device Management service. When N-able N-central attempts to communicate with a mobile device, N-able N-central sends a silent notification to the device prompting it to check in with the server. The device communicates with the server to see if there are tasks pending and responds with the appropriate actions. These tasks can include updating policies, providing requested device or network information, or removing settings and data.
