in the Mass deployment program list. When a device is started and connects to a network, the employee will
be requested to enter a six digit code received by mail (see section 3.5.2 in this document) to activate the
device.
12 November 2017
The possibility to add IMEI numbers in the Mass deployment program list is initially disabled. To enable the
function, select the number of devices you want to add and then click Send for approval. An email will then
be sent to the Mass Deployment Signing Officer (MDP-SO) – a team that will process the request. The
approval process might take a number of days before it is done. As soon as the request is approved, you will
receive a confirmation email from the MDP-SO.
To add IMEI numbers in the enabled Mass deployment program list click Mass deployment > New. Fill in the
IMEI numbers, or copy and paste a list of IMEI numbers from MS Word or Excel. Then click Done. IMEI
numbers can also be added, back-end, by the service provider or the MDP-SO.

email client will create a new mail to the employee with the content shown below (Figure 7 and 8). The
content can be edited as desired before sending the email. A dialogue will then confirm that the email was
sent.
Note: If you have selected a default profile for a device in the Mass deployment program list, the device will
be configured automatically when activated by the employee. If you don’t select a default profile you need

6.1 General
What is Xperia Configurator Cloud (XCC)?
Xperia Configurator Cloud is a cloud application that easily configures and deploys multiple devices
throughout your business. Xperia Configurator Cloud can be used to create, configure, and install
configuration profiles on Sony devices; including smartphones and tablets.
How does Xperia Configurator Cloud differ from Xperia Configurator?
Xperia Configurator Cloud allows you to remotely configure a group of devices at the same time,
and to manage a hierarchy of users. Using Xperia Configurator you can only configure one device at

Which devices are compatible with the Xperia Configurator Cloud system?
All Sony Xperia devices compatible with the Xperia Configurator Cloud are listed in section 4.2 in this
document.
Can I access Xperia Configurator Cloud using my mobile web browser?

I’m kind of new to this, will it be difficult?
Not really. Register an account directly on the Xperia Configurator Cloud website, and then a
confirmation email with a link will be sent to you.

and administrators (Type 02). You are also able to create profiles and submit to the devices that are
registered to the system.
How do I contact Support?

Is the device configuration sent to a device received immediately?
This doesn't always work immediately. The communication with the device uses the internet link,
cell phone operator or Wi-Fi, and the notification service. But it is usually fast.
What kind of license do I need to use Xperia Configurator Cloud?
No license is necessary; all functionality is available for free.
How many domains can I host?
Thinking in a context of hierarchy, the Xperia Configurator Cloud allows you to manage multiple
domains while preserving confidentiality within each domain.
Why is 'Save' sometimes greyed out when admin has made changes?
When creating/editing profile information, the 'Save' option is disabled when any mandatory field is
not filled or filled with invalid data.

devices; Type 02 – Has the same permission as type 01, but can also create new sub-
users).

request. For each new request, the user will need to allow again.
Refresh device info - What does this do?

configuration.
Will all previously configured and installed items be removed if you check 'Remove previous
configuration'?
When this option is selected, all previous configurations on the device will be removed before the
new configuration is applied.

the phone when a profile is sent to it?
Unfortunately, the profile will not arrive until the phone is restarted. This is a limitation with Google
Cloud messaging.
