Zebra OEMConfig is Zebra’s enterprise-grade configuration solution that empowers IT administrators to remotely manage and customize Zebra Android devices at a system level. By leveraging Android Enterprise’s managed configurations framework, Zebra OEMConfig enables precise control over Zebra-specific hardware, software, and device settings — all without requiring custom applications or additional agents.
Through integration with Applivery, administrators can seamlessly define, deploy, and enforce advanced device policies such as network configurations, app management, security controls, display behavior, and kiosk mode restrictions.
This integration ensures full compliance with organizational standards, optimizes device performance, and delivers consistent, streamlined management across the entire Zebra device fleet.
Note
To install the Zebra OEMConfig Powered by MX app via Applivery, Zebra devices must be running Android 11 or higher. For devices that do not meet this requirement, an alternative version — Legacy Zebra OEMConfig — is available to configure managed properties on older Android versions.
Getting started #
Once in the Applivery Dashboard, go to any of your Policies (1) (under Device Management > Policies). From the left side menu, go to Apps (2) and click the button (3).
Search for the Zebra OEMConfig Powered by MX app and select the one from Zebra Technologies (package name: com.zebra.oemconfig.release). Set the Install Type to Force Installed to ensure the app is automatically installed on any device associated with the policy.
Once the app appears in the list, click on it to expand all the managed properties and configure them according to your requirements.
Note
The OEM-specific settings described in this document are defined and maintained by their respective OEM vendors, and may change periodically. Since these configurations are managed externally, the options and values displayed in the Applivery dashboard may occasionally differ slightly from those shown in this documentation.
