If the device model includes "*" (a wild card), it means the device group can contain/contains the referenced model's variations (ex: "Panasonic TOUGHPAD FZ-G1 (FZG1*)" allows for the corresponding "FZG1A", "FZF1B", "FZG1C" model variations). |
Filebox Sync. Folder |
The folder used to synchronize files between the MCL-Mobility Platform's Filebox and the device group's private filebox. Any files sent to this folder will be redistributed to all the devices included in the device group. See Filebox. |
Remote Control Mode |
This option refers to the "Remote Control" - a subscription related feature that enables remote access to a device. See Remote Control. The checked option is the current mode of the "Remote Control" feature for the selected device group. Disabled – Disables the "Remote Control" feature for the devices included in the selected device group. Public Network – the necessary remote connection to the devices in the selected device group is managed by MCL-Mobility Platform's Remote Control Service (communication between your PC/browser and the device goes through MCL-Mobility Platform). Private Network – the required remote connection to a device from the selected device group is managed by the PC/Browser (direct connection established between your PC/browser and the selected device based on a local network). |
Custom Field Label 1 >5 |
The "Info 1, 2, 3, 4, 5" device field labels are default options but they can be customized.

This customization is attributed to the devices of all device groups within the site (see Site Details). If the label renaming is done in the Device Group Details page, it will only concern the devices of the corresponding device group. |
