Manage Knox Remote Support devices
Last updated June 26th, 2024
You can use the Devices menu to start remote support sessions on devices associated with a Knox Suite license.
The device list includes information about each device’s IMEI, serial number, status, model name, mobile number, and enrollment date.
A device can have the following statuses:
-
Registered status — Devices with the Registered status are fully managed by an EMM and have installed the Knox Remote Support agent with a managed configuration. This includes devices that have previously connected with the Ask to start or Automatically start methods through Knox Remote Support in Knox Manage.
-
– status —Devices with the – status are the ones that previously connected to Knox Remote Support using the Start with Code method or by directly sharing an access code.
The device list doesn’t include devices that used Knox Remote Support 23.12 or lower to connect. For more information, see Knox Remote Support 23.12 release notes.
You can manage devices as follows:
-
Delete the devices that no longer require support.
-
Download the full list of devices and their details as a CSV file. Click a device ID to view its details.
-
On the Details dialog view the device’s associated license key, OS version, and remote support history. If needed, add tags to devices for easier management.
Depending on your devices’ management type and EMM configuration, you can ask a user to start a remote session on their device, automatically start a remote session from this page, or send the user an SMS message with an invite code.
| Devices | Start a session with… |
|---|---|
