Setting Up the OTA Deployment Center and the SMS Gateway

The OTA Deployment Center allows device users to access and download Afaria clients and runtimes over-the-air, rather than needing cradle the device and connect to the network. OTA deployment is recommended for production environments that require you to administer many device users.

  1. OTA Deployment Center requires the Afaria SMS gateway, so ensure this is installed.
    See Afaria Reference Manual | Platform > Server Configuration > Properties > SMS Gateway Installation.
  2. Set up the OTA Deployment Center.

    See Installing Afaria > Setting up the OTA Deployment Center. For details about requirements, see Afaria Release Notes > Component and Feature Requirements.
