KIOSK: ProMGR Configuration
Overview
The ProDVX displays can be configured using the ProMGR application provided by the display manufacturer. The displays ordered after Q2/2025 are delivered with a preinstalled ProMGR application.
For the ProDVX displays, we recommend using the ProMGR installation. To install the Flexopus Device Connect Application in a kiosk mode on the displays, you don't need the ProMGR Cloud subscription and need no access to the ProMGR portal.
Why do I require ProMGR KIOSK?
The ProMGR solves the following problems for you:
- Set the display into a KIOSK mode
- Exit the KIOSK mode with a PIN code.
- Install the latest Flexopus Device Connect APK
- Automatically update the Flexopus Device Connect APK
- Set display timeouts for energy saving.
How do I get the ProMGR KIOSK licences?
Order the displays from our official display distributor:
KonferenzTraum GmbH
oliver.klos@konferenztraum.de
For each display you order, you get a ProMGR KIOSK license for free. The number of licenses will be preconfigured and assigned to you by the named distributor in an internal license management system. You will get a 6-digit code to activate the licenses on the display after you order the displays.
Instruction manual
Follow the steps to configure your ProDVX display with ProMGR.
STEP 0/A- Buy the displays from an official Flexopus distributor.
Order the ProMGR display from the right distributor so that we can assign a mass license key to you and provide the configuration key for the display setup.
KonferenzTraum GmbH
oliver.klos@konferenztraum.de
Other ProDVX distributors may have the same displays as well, but they are not familiar with our setup process. In case you bought the displays from another distributor, follow the instructions in STEP 0/B.
STEP 0/B - Displays from another distributor
By default you get from ProDVX one ProMGR KIOKS license for each display you order from them, which means that you should have the licenses. Ask the distributor or ProDVX (support@prodvx.com) to put the license key on a ProMGR mass license key for you. Send this license key to us at support@flexopus.com, so that we can create the configuration key for you.
STEP 1 - Get the configuration key
Using your mass license key, we will create a configuration key for you, which will tell the display how and what to install.
The mass license key is a 10-digit code including letters and numbers. Using your mass license key, we will create for you:
- The configuration key (6-digit code)
- The individual PIN to unlock the kiosk mode
- An individual password to access the ProMGR on premise
Demo configuration key: UQCDQA
Demo kiosk PIN: 1234
Demo admin password: 1234
The connected displays with the demo configuration key will show, that a license is required.
The configuration key is linked to your mass license key and includes the following configuration:
{
"configName": "0 - TEMPLATE - COPY THIS",
"showAppLauncherOnStart": false,
"startURL": "https://www.flexopus.com/promgr-setup-screen",
"launcherApps": "",
"keepScreenOn": true,
"kioskMode": true,
"kioskExitGesture": "3",
"kioskPin": "1234",
"disablePowerButton": false,
"forceScreenUnlock": true,
"forceSwipeUnlock": true,
"mdmDisableKeyguard": true,
"mdmDisableStatusBar": true,
"mdmDisableSafeModeBoot": true,
"mdmDisableAppsFromUnknownSources": false,
"mdmDisableADB": true,
"mdmRuntimePermissionPolicy": "1",
"mdmSystemUpdatePolicy": "2",
"mdmPasswordQuality": "0",
"mdmMinimumPasswordLength": "5",
"mdmApkToInstall": "https://github.com/flexopus/flexopus-device-connect/releases/latest/download/flexopus-device-connect.apk",
"mdmApkToInstallInterval": "15",
"mdmApkToInstallTime": "",
"mdmSystemAppsToEnable": "",
"remoteAdmin": true,
"remoteAdminPassword": "1234",
"cloudService": true,
"restartOnCrash": true,
"restartAfterUpdate": true,
"enableVersionInfo": false,
"showMenuHint": false,
"singleAppMode": true,
"singleAppIntent": "intent:#Intent;component=com.flexopus.deviceconnect/.MainActivity;end"
}
STEP 2 - Prepare the internet connection.
Recommended:
The displays should have an internet connection to do all the configuration steps. We always recommend connecting the displays with an Ethernet or PoE cable.
Not recommended, but it should also work:
You can also connect the displays with WiFi; however, a WiFi connection is often less stable and may result in internet connection issues in the long term. Some displays have an inbuilt WiFi module (APPC-10SLBe) others may need a WiFi USB stick (S-Series 10SFN) to connect to a WiFi network. You can order a WiFi stick from our distributor additionally.
STEP 3 - Preconfigure the ProMGR
Plug in your ProDVX display. It should be in a factory reset mode, and it will show the following screen. On the first screen you can connect the display to WiFi, in case you wish to use a WiFi connection. Press Start.
Enable the ProMGR usage:
Enable the usage of the ProDVX API. This API is also responsible for the LED functionality.
Disable the autostart functionality.
Set the screen timeout to Never :
Reboot the device:
After the reboot, the device is supposed to start the ProMGR automatically and ask you to enter the configuration key. Wait 15 seconds. In case this is not happening, make a factory reset and do the config steps again.
STEP 4 - Activate the ProMGR license and install Flexopus
Enter the provided ProMGR configuration key, which will activate the license and install the Flexopus Device Connect APK. The configuration key is a 6-digit code, which you received from Flexopus directly or from our distributor.
Demo configuration key: UQCDQA
Demo kiosk PIN: 1234
Demo admin password: 1234
The connected displays with the demo configuration key will show, that a license is required.
(Optional) In case you have no ethernet connection, no PoE connection, and you forgot to connect to the WiFi in the first step, then you can still connect here to your WiFi. Press the display 7 times and enter the KIOSK PIN. You should be able to select the WiFi and enter the WiFi code. Then go back to the ProMGR. By going back, the ProMGR application will be automatically in KIOSK mode again.
After a successful configuration, the Flexopus device connect application will open. In case the application is asking for permission, just press IGNORE. The permissions are not required. In the newest Flexopus Device Connect APK, the permission requests will be removed, since they are not necessary.
STEP 5 - Connect Flexopus

Difference between the ProMGR KIOSK and ProMGR CLOUD?
To install Flexopus on the displays, you don't need the ProMGR Cloud subscription. It's enough to use the free KIOSK solution. Upgrading to a cloud solution, you could:
- Use the ProMGR portal.
See the number of licenses and manage them. - Use the remote device management and monitoring.
See which displays are active and in use. - Automatically install the Android OS firmware updates.
Otherwise you need to do it manually. Updates between main Android versions are not automatically done. Only the minor updates within a major Android version. Applies only to AOSP Androids. The GMS-verified Android displays update themselves automatically.
The ProMGR cloud subscription offers some benefits; however, it's not required for the setup. It offers benefits mostly for the long-term maintenance of the displays compared to the KIOSK licence.
Now, let's see the CLOUD benefits compared to the KIOSK subscription plan:
- ProMGR portal.
Yes, you can see the number of licenses and manage them, but is it really necessary? You get a license per display. You don't need to manage them manually. We create a mass license key for your company and assign the number of licenses to it. You don't need to manage it. You can get the mass license key at any time you need. - Remote device management and monitoring
There is no real need to manage or to monitor the devices after they are configured. In theory, you can delete the pairing code of the displays in Flexopus at any time. - Automatically install the Android OS firmware updates.
This is the only real benefit, which could save you some time; however, an annual firmware update should be enough, and you can do that with a USB stick. (After plugging in, the OS will be updated automatically.)
So overall the ProMGR cloud subscription has some benefits, but it's not necessary. You can order it on demand from our distributor.
