Deploying VMware Workspace ONE (AirWatch) via EloView 3
Audience: Public / Elo Customers, IT Administrators & Integrators
Article Type: Deployment & MDM Integration Guide
This guide outlines the procedure for staging and deploying VMware Workspace ONE (formerly AirWatch) MDM agent software to Elo Android devices using EloView® 3.
Prerequisites
- Elo Android devices must be powered on, network-connected (online), and claimed/provisioned within your EloView account.
- Devices must be updated to the latest available Over-the-Air (OTA) firmware version. Refer to the EloView Support Portal for device onboarding and OTA management steps.
- Access to your organization's Customer Connect / VMware Portal to download the necessary Android APK packages.
Deployment Procedure
Step 1: Obtain Required AirWatch APK Packages
AirWatch integration on EloView-enabled Android devices requires two primary packages:
- AirWatch Agent APK (Intelligent Hub)
- AirWatch Platform OEM Service App APK (Service plugin for Elo/OEM integration)
Note: Package filenames and versions may vary depending on your VMware Workspace ONE console release.
Step 2: Upload Files & Create an EloView App Bundle
- Log into the EloView Portal and upload all individual AirWatch APK files to the Contents (App Library) repository.
- Click the uploaded AirWatch Agent application in your Contents library and ensure the "Show on App Page" checkbox is checked.
- Create a new App Bundle:
- Set the AirWatch Agent APK as the Foreground App (configured to RUN).
- Add the OEM Service APK as a Background App (configured to RUN).
Step 3: Deploy Bundle to Devices / Groups
- From the EloView Contents navigation, drag and drop the newly created AirWatch App Bundle onto your target device(s) or device group(s).
- EloView will automatically download, silently install, and invoke each application package on the target hardware.
- Once installation finishes, the device will display the "Welcome to AirWatch / Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub" enrollment screen.
Step 4: Device Enrollment & Management
Complete the on-screen enrollment steps provided by your Workspace ONE/AirWatch administrator (server URL, Group ID, and user credentials or QR code). Once enrolled, your Elo Android hardware can be managed and monitored through Workspace ONE and EloView.
