4 Why would you use Enterprise Erase Mobile? Product Features Enterprise Erase Mobile (EEMobile) supports the simultaneous erasure of up to 48 mobile devices, to facilitate high volume throughput. Tabernus enables the erasure of mixed mobile devices, so that ios and Android data can be safely deleted, without any reduction in erasure time. The application runs as a server, so that new devices can be hot swapped rather than as a batch process. This allows operators to add new devices as needed. In addition, the ability to mix different types of device from a single set of hubs, which allows the system to automate the erasure with maximum flexibility. Whatever the device, the system will complete the erasure with minimal operator interaction. Tabernus have automated full logging and reporting facilities within a web based reports generation tool. This provides a full audit trial of the erasure, date, time and serial number of the device alongside confirmation of a successful erasure. How Enterprise Erase Mobile Works EEMobile allows continuous erasure, with the ability to hot swap in order to increase productivity. Figure 1 - How EEMobile Works Page 4 of 40

17 How to Erase an ios Device Step 1 Connect the device Note: It is useful to label the ports, so that multiple devices can be easily identified. Follow the guide in Appendix 2 for custom port labelling instructions. Step 2- Downloading Firmware Figure 18 Connecting ios Device (White) When an ios device is connected to the software, EEMobile will verify with Apple the latest firmware for the device. If this firmware has not been downloaded, the system will download the firmware. Note: If multiples of the same device are attached before the firmware for that device has downloaded, the download may be initiated multiple times. This will slow the progress of devices. During the download EEMobile will notify the user with an amber highlight. Figure 19 Downloading Firmware (Amber) Step 3 Erasing the Device The status of the device will read Erasing ; the white background notifies the operator that EEMobile is erasing the data for the connected device and performing a factory reset. During the erasure it is possible to enter any custom fields for the device, refer to Appendix 3 for instructions. Figure 20 - Erasing the Data Notification (White) The device will reboot during erasure for the first factory reset Step 4 Verification at the end of the Erasure EEMobile will verify the erasure at the final stage when the device reboots; the white background notifies the operator that this is still part of the erasure process.

32 Appendix 2 Labeling Ports Use of the Port Labeling Wizard to assign port names. By default the EEMobile system uses USB port locations, which can be long and confusing strings (e.g or ) making identification of a specific device harder than it needs to be for larger numbers of drives. The port labeling wizard allows the user to label the ports with intuitive names that correspond to the device location. Follow the steps below to label your ports 1. Open the Port Labeling Wizard Figure 1 Open Port Labeling Wizard 2. Remove any mobile devices, and arrange the USB hubs that you intend to use. Note that the hubs cannot be rearranged after the ports have been labelled without re-running the Port Labeling Wizard. Figure 2 Remove all mobile devices, and arrange hubs Page 32 of 40

33 3. Select Create a new port label scheme to start labelling ports. At any point it is possible to reopen the port labeling wizard and edit the assigned port names. Figure 3 Enter the Layout 4. Press continue, and set the number of columns and rows in the device layout. If a grid layout is not being used, just be sure that that columns x rows give enough devices for the number of ports you wish to use. Connect a USB drive to the first port that you wish to label, the first port will become active and the label text can be edited to be any alphanumeric string. Remove the USB stick, and repeat with all the ports you wish to label. Figure 4 Port Labeling Page 33 of 40

34 5. All labels must be unique, and not left blank (if you have entered a USB key in the port). Any duplicates or empty fields will be highlighted in red, and must be renamed and highlighted in green before continuing. Figure 5 Invalid Port Labels 6. Once all ports have been given a label, press continue and confirm to save the port labels. Now, each time a mobile device is plugged in, the Port in the EEMobile software will use the custom labels that you have set up. Page 34 of 40
