Zebra’s Mobility Extensions (MX) allows configuration and certain features’ actions of the Analyzer through device management and staging tools, with a compatible MX version that includes Wireless Analyzer manager package (formerly known as WorrryFree Wi-Fi manager, or worryfreewifimgr).
Zebra’s OEMConfig interfaces with Zebra’s MX, thus capable tools using Android Managed Configurations framework can also access the Wireless Analyzer manager via the Zebra’s OEMConfig.
Using the Configuration tool (powered by MS) for the Analyzer Application UI use cases is essential for features that require a password to be pre-provisioned in the device prior to the Analyzer respective feature operation. A password is required for:
Packet Capture Type of
All Packets
mode, if set (non-default) inside
Roaming Analysis
,
Voice Analysis
, or
Logging
features.
Editing values in
Advanced Configuration
feature
Using the Configuration tool is the only way to configure the password.
Apart from the Password configuration, the Analyzer Application UI is self-contained for all its operations and features settings, while Tools (powered by MX) can be used optionally for desired use cases of managing features in other ways than UI.
Using the Configuration tool for optional configuration and other Analyzer actions is essential in specific Wi-Fi troubleshooting cases such as:
Admin’s remote control of the device via the device management. For example, configure Settings of a feature, start it remotely to run in the background, then Stop it remotely, and collect the saved data remotely.
Admin’s Local control of the device via local staging clients which can set MX configuration locally, such as Zebra’s StageNow, when Analyzer UI happens to be inaccessible. For example, configure Settings of a feature with StageNow barcode, Start it with StageNow barcode to run in the background, then Stop it with StageNow barcode.
