Configuring an MDM Device

Your NAS system can be configured as a device that can be controlled by any controller (trust mode) or as a device

controlled only by a controller with a specific certificate (certificate mode). If you choose trust mode, the first controller that

attempts to control the device becomes the device's controller. In certificate mode, only the system with the uploaded

certificate can control the device.

To configure your NAS system as a device, perform the following steps:

1. Log in to the NAS Manager.

2. Click MDM.

3. Click Configure MDM.

The Multiple Device Management Settings page displays and the Configure MDM Type tab is active.

4. Select MDM Device.

5. Select one of the following MDM Device options:

Any controller — Allows the system to be controlled by any MDM controller. Choosing this option puts the

system in trust mode.

Only the controller with the following certificate — Allows the system to be controlled only by an MDM

controller with a specific certificate. Choosing this option puts the system in certificate mode. If you choose this

option, you must first copy the required certificate from the MDM controller to your local system (client), and

then upload the required certificate from your local system (client) to the NAS system (MDM device).

To upload the certificate, perform the following steps:

a. Click Upload Certificate.

b. In the Upload Certificate File window, type the name of the certificate file or choose Browse to navigate to it.

c. Click Upload Certificate.

The MDM controller certificate file is uploaded to the intended MDM device.

6. Click OK.

The system automatically reboots.

Resetting MDM

Resetting MDM will disable the MDM feature and remove the MDM designation from your NAS system. After MDM has been

reset, your system will no longer be designated as a device or controller.

To reset MDM on your NAS system, perform the following steps:

1. Log in to the NAS Manager.

2. If the system is configured as a device, click MDM. If the system is figured as a controller, click Controller.

3. Click Reset MDM.

4. Click OK.

The system automatically reboots.
