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:
l Any controller — Allows the system to be controlled by any MDM controller. Choosing this option puts the system in trust mode.
l 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 click 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.
Viewing MDM Device Status
When your NAS system is configured as an MDM device, you can use the NAS Manager to track the status of the system.
To view the status of an MDM device, perform the following steps:
1. Log in to the NAS Manager.
2. Click MDM.
The MDM Agent Status page displays the following information:
¡ Require Certificate — Yes indicates that the system is operating in certificate mode. No indicates that the system is operating in trust mode.
¡ Certificate — Indicates whether the certificate is installed.
¡ Controller — Displays the host name of the last controller to take control of the system.
NOTE: If a system is controlled by another device, you must release control from that device before reconfiguring the system.
