The Lifeguard Over the Air Manager (known as FOTA Manager or FotaMgr in devices with MX versions prior to 9.0) controls the Firmware Over The Air (FOTA) Client on the device, which allows administrators to perform OS updates on Zebra devices without a physical connection. The FOTA Client app comes preinstalled on supported devices and is configured to communicate with the Zebra update server.
Supported only on devices running Android 6.x Marshmallow and later.
This is the On/Off switch for the LifeGuard OTA (formerly FOTA) client app on the device, which manages over-the-air firmware updates. Enabled by default.
