The MDM Setup section in Trio serves as the critical foundation for secure, automated, and scalable device management. It’s where IT administrators configure integrations with Apple and Google ecosystems to enable centralized control over company-owned and BYOD devices.
Without a properly configured MDM setup, features like device enrollment, remote actions, profile deployment, and app management would be limited or non-functional. Trio makes it easy to activate and manage these essential connections from a single interface.
Apple MDM Setup
The Apple tab enables seamless management of iOS, iPadOS, and macOS devices through three key components:
APNs Certificate
The Apple Push Notification service (APNs) certificate enables secure communication between Trio and Apple devices. It is essential for:
Sending remote commands
Installing or removing profiles
Locking, wiping, or restarting devices
Admins can view the associated Apple ID, expiration date, and days remaining, with options to disconnect or renew the certificate to avoid service disruption.
DEP Token
The Device Enrollment Program (DEP) token automates device enrollment during activation. When a device is turned on, it’s automatically enrolled into Trio with preconfigured profiles, apps, and restrictions—ideal for large-scale deployment.
Information displayed includes the Company Name, Business Apple ID, and token expiration details, along with Disconnect and Renew options.
VPP Token
The Volume Purchase Program (VPP) token allows bulk licensing and distribution of apps from Apple Business Manager. Apps can be deployed silently, reassigned, and monitored without requiring user Apple IDs.
Admins can add apps, renew the token, or disconnect the configuration as needed. This is crucial for streamlined app management across departments or user roles.
Google MDM Setup
In the Google tab, admins can link Trio with Android Enterprise, enabling support for work profiles, full device management, app distribution, and compliance enforcement on Android devices.
Admins can view their Enterprise ID, verify status with Test Connection, update administrator info with Edit Info, or reset with Disconnect.
Why MDM Setup Is Crucial
A complete MDM setup empowers IT teams to:
🔐 Secure mobile endpoints from a central platform
🚀 Automate onboarding through DEP and Android Enterprise
📦 Distribute and manage business-critical apps
📲 Enforce profiles and policies with real-time control
🧩 Ensure compliance with frameworks and regulations
By configuring the MDM Setup correctly in Trio, organizations can take full advantage of its capabilities, from simplified deployment to an airtight security posture across platforms.
