How to put a configuration file in /enterprise/usr on Point Mobile devices

​On Point Mobile devices the auto-import folder is /enterprise/usr. Glink for Android will check this folder for a config.glinki Glink configuration file at start-up and when the user enters the Sessions menu. If/when Glink finds a config.glinki file in the import folder, the file will be imported and renamed to config.glinki_nn in the import folder. This is to make sure it is only imported once. nn is the next available number. The current configuration will be overwritten by the imported configuration file and lost.

 

• ​Create a Glink configuration file config.glinki that you want to distribute to your Point Mobile Devices

• Export it from your Point Mobile device and put it on a web server

• Create a QR code that instructs Scan2Set on the Point Mobile device to download the Glink configuration file from the web server to the file  /enterprise/usr/config.glinki on your Point Mobile devices. To create the QR code, you can for example use the website https://qr.io/, choose TEXT and copy text below into the Message box after changing the remote_url to be the location of the Glink configuration file on your web server:
   

{
   "downloader":{

      "random":false,
      "url_list":[
         {
            "remote_url":https://yourserver.yourdomain.xx/glink/config.glinki,
            "local_path":"/enterprise/usr/config.glinki"
         }
      ]
   }
}
 

• Download the QR code and distribute it.

• On the Point Mobile devices, open the app EmKit -> Scan2Set

• Scan the QR code you generated under 3

• Reboot device to get full permissions to access the file in /enterprise/usr

• Start Glink and Glink will auto-import the configuration file from /enterprise/usr/config.glinki and rename the configuration file to config.glinki_nn where nn is the first available number starting from "1". This is to avoid repeated imports of the configuration file.
