Screenshots: Apple's iOS Configurator

Hands on with Apple's iPad configuration tool.

on Mar 11 2012 5:22PM

The Apple Configurator launches with a straight-forward GUI that guides you through a three step configuration process.

Preparing a device involves creating a profile (we called ours iTnews Default) that includes wireless LAN, VPN and other settings. We could also assign device names and the software automatically incremented the names to make each one unique.

Supervision mode locks a device down so that it can't be managed using iTunes on another computer. This is a useful way to ensure that devices aren't tampered with. However, it does require a full re-installation of iOS.

Supervised devices can have apps automatically installed during configuration and updated using the Apple' Configurator's management console.

Assigning devices allows administrators to create profiles for individual users so that when an iPad is given out, it can be easily configured with specific documents and apps. This is useful in environments where iPads are assigned on an "as needs" basis to field staff.
