Sending commands to mobile devices

From Kaspersky Next Management Console, you can send commands to connected mobile devices (for example, to locate or lock a device).

To send a command to a device:

Open Kaspersky Next Management Console.
Select the Devices section.
The Devices section contains a list of devices that have been added to Kaspersky Next.
Select the check box in the list next to the name of the device to which you need to send a command.
In the list of devices, click the link with the device name.
This opens a page containing detailed information about the device. The right part of the page shows a list of commands that were sent to the device, including the date and time the commands were sent. The left part of the page shows the Commands list, which contains buttons with the commands that are available for the device.
Click the button with the name of the command.
The button name will change to Abort command <Name of selected command>. Execution of the command takes some time. Upon execution, the command is displayed in the list of executed commands in the right part of the page.

The set of supported commands depends on the operating system installed on the mobile device.
