Jabra Xpress enables administrators to deploy device settings and firmware updates to supported Jabra USB devices. This article describes how to create a Jabra Xpress package, make it available from a web server, configure the Jabra Xpress app in IGEL OS 12, and trigger the deployment from the IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS).
For more details on the Jabra Xpress app deployment on IGEL OS, see How to Deploy a Jabra Xpress Package on IGEL OS.
This article is based on Jabra Xpress version 8.5.11 BUILD 1.0.
Requirements
-
Jabra Xpress app is imported to your IGEL UMS. For details on app import, see How to Import IGEL OS Apps from the IGEL App Portal.
Known Issues
-
Power saving for Jabra devices requires the PulseAudio plugin and is therefore supported only with the PulseAudio backend. The plugin does not work with PipeWire.
Configuring the Xpress Settings
-
In the IGEL UMS, create a profile configuring the app. For details on profile creation, see How to Create and Assign Profiles in the IGEL UMS Web App.

In the Profile Configurator, go to Apps > Jabra > Xpress.
