Drive Capacity20 GB+ SSD

If your PC has trouble connecting to more than 8 or so iPhones at once, try to disable XHCI in the PC’s BIOS. Test your model thoroughly before selecting a PC to be used as Launchpad.

Network

GroundControl uses HTTPS (port 443) for all communication between the Launchpad and the Cloud Administrator Console. After initial registration, the Launchpad switches to Secure WebSockets (also port 443) for asynchronous bi-directional messaging.

Firewalls must support Secure WebSockets. A common firewall feature is to force close any sockets that remain open for a long period of time, but this will cause GroundControl to lose the client-server connection.

Apple products on enterprise networks typically require specific hosts and ports to be open. For more information, see Apple’s documentation on the use of Apple products on enterprise networks.

Android products on enterprise networks require specific hosts and ports to be open for Firebase push notifications. For more information, see Google documentation.

Proxy Support

GroundControl has limited support for proxies:

  • Proxies must be configured in the Launchpad app during initial registration
  • Only unauthenticated proxies are supported
  • Authenticated proxies and PAC files are not supported
  • System proxy settings are ignored
USB Hubs and Carts

USB hubs vary wildly in quality. GroundControl recommends a very limited number of hubs and carts from trusted manufacturers.

  • Imprivata Bretford PowerSync Pro v2 and PowerSync Plus.
  • Datamation UniDock, Trays, and U-Series Sync & Charge hubs and related carts.
  • Cambrionix ThunderSync.

Poor-quality electronics will display intermittent errors during restores and iOS updates.

Lifecycle

GroundControl Locker 2 (iOS) is now end-of-life as previously communicated. New iOS workflows will no longer require selecting an app version. Existing workflows are unaffected, though Check In workflows with Locker 2 will no longer be supported.

Apple device support is based on iOS version support. GroundControl supports iOS 17, 16, and 15. Only factory-reset devices are supported.
