Site Details
Name, phone, and address for your site. These are for reference inside MDM.
MDM uses email to send password-reset links to your users. Without it, users who forget a password have to ask an administrator to reset it (article 4.7). Your IT team will provide the details for your hospital's mail server:
Field |
What to enter |
|---|---|
|
Enable Sending Email |
Check to turn email on. |
|
From Address |
The address reset emails come from, e.g., no-reply@yourhospital.org. |
|
SMTP Hostname / SMTP Port |
Your mail server's address and port, from your IT team. |
|
Account Username / Account Password |
The account MDM uses to send mail, if your mail server requires one. |
Locale & Time
Default language, country or region, and time zone. Set the time zone to your hospital's local time, so times shown in MDM line up with what your team expects.

What it does |
Guidance |
|---|---|---|
|
Registration PIN |
The PIN required to register a new LincTV device to your MDM. |
Share only with the people doing installs. Change it if it may have been shared too widely. |
|
Maximum Number of Failed Attempts |
How many wrong PIN entries are allowed before registration is blocked. |
Default is 3. |
|
Use Incremental Reboot |
When many devices are restarted at once, reboot them in batches instead of all together. |
Turn on for large deployments so a mass restart doesn't hit your network at once. |
|
# of Devices Rebooting Simultaneously / Delay Between Batches |
Batch size and the wait between batches when Incremental Reboot is on. |
Default is 20 devices, 3 minutes apart. |
|
Enrollment Application / Use HTTP for Enrollment Application |
