Setting Up Devices Clause Samples

Setting Up Devices.  Organizations may consider using a mobile device management (MDM) platform to set up and routinely manage devices. Platforms like Miradore and Jumpcloud are free for use with a certain number of devices and limited features. Upgrading to a premium subscription provides additional features and allows you to manage a larger number of devices. Alternatively, the international not-for-profit and trusted group, TechSoup, offers discounts to registered not-for-profit organizations for Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager Device Client and Cisco Meraki Systems Manager. These options are ideal for larger organizations with a lot of devices to manage.  If not using an MDM, check that each device’s software is up to date. Updating software is the best way to ensure that patches, designed to address current malware and virus threats, are in use. If not, follow the steps below to run software updates before installing applications and assigning devices to staff: 1. Plug the device into power and connect to the internet with Wi-Fi. 2. Open the phone's Settings app. 3. Near the bottom, tap System > Advanced > System update. 4. You will see your update status. Follow any steps on the screen. 5. For more information, see this article for Android devices. 1. Plug the device into power and connect to the internet with Wi-Fi. 2. Go to Settings > General, then tap Software Update. 3.

Do not upload any images of staff or clients in the phone’s user profile. Such photos could put workers or clients at risk if they could be identified as members of key populations, as people living with HIV, or targeted for harassment or stalking.  Install an antivirus software such as Avast or Endpoint Security, especially for devices used for case management. Regardless of the software used, management will need to periodically monitor virus signatures and applications while addressing any flagged infections. This is to be done when the devices are occasionally assessed; it can be done using an MDM.
