  2. Tap Scan QR-Code:
  3. With your mobile device's cam, scan the QR code under UMS Administration > Global Configuration > Mobile Devices.

    If for any reason you cannot use your mobile device's cam, please use Manual Input and manually enter the connection details available under UMS Administration > Global Configuration > Mobile Devices. The required format is https://[host or IP]:port

  4. Click Enroll.
    Your device's default browser (usually Apple Safari) will open a link to automatically download the MDM profile file.

    When presented an HTTPS error, select Show details > Visit website.
