Algo Device Management Platform (ADMP) User Guide

Prev Next

The Algo Device Management Platform (ADMP) is a cloud-based device management solution for managing, monitoring, and configuring Algo IP endpoints from any location. Service providers and system administrators can use ADMP to effectively manage Algo IP endpoints in large environments across multiple locations and networks.

Note

Devices must have firmware version 5.2 or higher installed to be managed with ADMP. To access all the latest ADMP features, devices must be on the most recent firmware version available.

Setting up Your Account

To use ADMP, you must set up your account, users, and licenses.

Account Tiers

There are three types of ADMP accounts:

Trial

A Trial account is a free 3-month account with access to 25 device licenses. To sign up for a trial account, fill out the form at https://www.algosolutions.com/admp-demo-license/.

Pro

A Pro account uses device licenses that have been purchased or renewed. An Algo Support team member does setup for a Pro account after you’ve purchased device licenses. Device licenses may be purchased at https://www.algosolutions.com/product/admp/.

Perpetual

A Perpetual account is available for Algo Authorized Integrators. To learn more about the Algo Authorized Integrator Program, visit https://www.algosolutions.com/integrator/.

After you have signed up for a demo, purchased ADMP device licenses, or have become an Algo Authorized Integrator, an Algo Support Team member will reach out to set up account users.

User Permissions

You can access an ADMP account as either an Admin or a Viewer.

This table lists their different permissions.

Admin

Viewer

An admin can access the following pages and perform actions where applicable.

  • Dashboard

  • Devices

  • Configure

  • Export

  • ZTP

  • Settings

A viewer will only be able to view the following pages. Actions cannot be performed.

  • Dashboard

  • Devices

  • Configure

  • Export

The Algo Support team will be able to assist with adding new users, removing users, and updating user types upon request. There is no limit to the number of users you can have on an account. To add or remove users, the account owner should contact support@algosolutions.com for assistance.

Licenses

ADMP licenses are per device, not per person or account. Device licenses are purchased and renewed annually in bundles of 25. An account can have up to 10,000 licenses.

You may purchase additional device licenses through an Algo reseller, distributor, or on the Algo website here: https://www.algosolutions.com/product/admp/.

Multi-Tenant

To enable multi-tenancy, please reach out to the Algo support team at support@algosolutions.com.

Multi-tenancy allows ADMP account holders to manage multiple deployments, or tenant accounts, from one main ADMP account. When multi-tenancy is in use, an ADMP account holder will log into ADMP and select the tenant account to view. From here, a user can monitor and manage devices connected to a tenant account.

Tenant Account Permissions

Permissions differ based on the type of tenant account.

The number of tenant accounts an ADMP account can have is unlimited.

To set up a new tenant, please contact the Algo Support Team at support@algosolutions.com.

The table below outlines the available permissions for each user type.

User Type

Permissions

Administrator

  • Add users and configure user permissions (manage, view only, ZTP)

  • Change the display name

  • Search for users and account titles to see who has access to multiple tenant accounts

Additional Users

  • Set notification preferences

Single Sign-On

To enable SSO, please contact the Algo support team at support@algosolutions.com.

Single sign-on (SSO) for ADMP is available through a Microsoft account. SSO makes ADMP access seamless for designated users while improving account security. To provide SSO, ADMP uses Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), Microsoft’s enterprise cloud-based identity and access management (IAM) solution.

Note

A current limitation of SSO in ADMP is that one Azure AD can only be associated with one ADMP account, but not each tenant account. For example, a service provider who uses multiple tenant accounts for each of their customers can only have one Azure AD for their main account. Each customer, or tenant, cannot also use the same Azure AD separately.

However, a main account and tenant account may use separate Azure ADs, allowing SSO to be used for both a main account login or a single tenant login.

Setting up SSO

Before setting up SSO, it should be noted that users with SSO will no longer be able to log in using a password. Only one login option can be applied to an account.

To set up SSO:

  1. Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as at least a Cloud Application Administrator.

Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP)

The Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) service automatically directs devices to a server during startup to download their configuration files. This makes deploying many devices faster and easier in large settings like schools, factories, or businesses.

Note

  • All Algo IP endpoints shipped after November 2022 support Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP). Devices shipped before November 2022 do not have ZTP enabled by default, even after a firmware upgrade. To enable ZTP on these devices, please contact Algo Support.

  • ZTP is enabled on Algo devices by default. However, the setting is disabled as soon as you manually configure the device. ZTP remains active only during the initial installation or after a factory reset.

Security

ZTP is secured using TLS mutual authentication with certificates. Each Algo IP endpoint has a unique device certificate installed at the factory, tied to its MAC address.

When the device boots up, it automatically connects to Algo’s ZTP server (ztp.algosolutions.com) and establishes a secure TLS connection using its device certificate. This ensures all data transferred is fully encrypted.

Once a MAC address is registered in the ZTP configuration, it is locked to that account and cannot be claimed by another—preventing accidental or malicious hijacking. However, if the MAC address is removed from the configuration, it becomes available to be claimed by another account.

Using ZTP Service

Follow these steps to use the ZTP service:

  1. Obtain ZTP service if you currently do not have it.

    If you don’t currently have ZTP service, contact Algo Support to request access.

    See Obtaining ZTP Service.

    After the mapping is done, when the Algo endpoint is powered on for the first time, it automatically connects to the ZTP server and retrieves the redirect or configuration file associated with its MAC address.

    See Uploading Configuration Files.

Obtaining ZTP Service

Algo’s ZTP service is free and can be accessed through ADMP. While full ADMP access requires a license, no license is needed to use ZTP.

You can request a ZTP-only ADMP account free of charge. A ZTP-only account holder can only configure mass provisioning for devices, but they can not manage devices. However, you can add a device management license to your ZTP-only account at any time.

Devices shipped before November 2022 do not have ZTP enabled by default, even after a firmware upgrade. To enable ZTP on these devices, please contact Algo Support.

To obtain a ZTP-only account:

      prov.server.static = https://some-local-server 
      prov.sync.endtime = 03:00:00 
      prov.sync.frequency = daily 
      prov.sync.time = 02:00:00 
      prov.use = 1 
      prov.i = 1 
  • To enable ADMP cloud monitoring on your device, your configuration file must contain:

    • iot.mqtt.ka = 30 
      iot.tenant = [ADMP account ID] 
      iot.use = 1
      iot.sync.conf = 1

Where:

  • iot.use Enable the device to connect to ADMP.

  • iot.tenant: Specify the ADMP account that the device wishes to connect to.

  • iot.syn.conf : Allow the device to send its configurations to ADMP..

    • Replace: Import the duplicate slide or slideshow and overwrite the existing one in ADMP.

  7. You can now find the recreated slides and slideshows in the Slideshow Builder.

Pushing Slides and Slideshows to IP displays

You can push all created slides or slideshows to connected Algo IP Displays.

Upon successful operation, all slides, slideshows, and associated images are pushed to the selected IP Display devices.

You can find them in the device’s web interface:

  • Slides are added to the Display Slides.

  • Slideshows are added to the Display Slideshows section.

  • The associated images are added to the images folder in System File Manager.

When you perform the SYNC action in ADMP, existing slides and slideshows in ADMP are added to the selected devices. If a file with the same name already exists on a device, it will be overwritten. However, any files that exist only on the device and are not in the ADMP will remain unchanged.

Note

The target IP Displays must have the status CONNECTED before you can push slides or slideshows to them.

Security

Algo takes precautions to mitigate the risk of cyberattacks and builds ADMP with the safety of your data and systems in mind. ADMP and Algo devices use mutual authentication over TLS to ensure that data transferred between ADMP and the device is fully encrypted. This means only Algo devices can be used with ADMP.

ADMP does not store any unencrypted passwords.
