Install SAFR Beam

Install the SAFR Beam for Android utility onto one device and use this primary device to install the Mobile Client in a Lock Task kiosk mode on a second target device. Using SAFR Beam provides added security to the target device, locking it down in cases where added security is required. For example, using the device camera to identify employees and open secured door to them. For more information, see the Configure an Android Device into Lock Task Mode documentation.

To Install and Use SAFR Beam

  1. Secure two Android devices capable of running SAFR. One device serves as the primary and the other as the target.
  2. Log into the SAFR Download Portal and install SAFR Beam on the primary device.
  3. On the primary device, turn on Near Field Communication (NFC). Make sure the target device has NFC capabilities.
  4. Reset the target to its factory settings.
  5. Place the target device back to back with the primary device.
  6. Once the target device is detected, tap the screen on the primary device to start the beam.
  7. Follow the instructions on the target device to complete the installation.
  8. Although not required, we highly recommend that you set up security access on the target device. (e.g. a PIN or gesture)
  9. Run the Mobile Client on the target device. If prompted, set SAFR as the default launcher app.
