Prerequisites

Before you can begin using Accessory edition, in addition to the Knox Configure prerequisites, you must:

1. Set up your Samsung Knox account.

2. Procure NFC accessories from your accessory vendor or manufacturer.

3. Get a valid Knox Configure Accessory (Staggered) license.

The deployment process

You can set up accessory-based enrollment when you create a profile or it can be added to an existing profile.

The product lifecycle of accessory-based enrollment has 7 main steps:

1. An accessory manufacturer registers with Knox Configure and creates an accessory profile.

2. Then, they generate and export the accessory IDs from the Knox Configure console.

3. They inject unique IDs into the accessories.

4. They sell these accessories to device users. This could either be through a carrier, an enterprise customer, or direct selling.

5. The device user pairs the accessory to their device running Android 13 or higher.

6. The accessory IDs associated with these accessories go through verification.

7. Finally, the device user enrolls the device into Knox Configure using the accessory profile.
