Additional Information

Steps to Duplicate: 
  1. Login to the WebAdmin console by typing https://IPAddress:8120.
  2. Click on Mobility Connector | Monitor.
  3. Click on "Reset device to factory default" on an Android device.
Notes:
 
When "Reset device to factory default" is clicked on,  a message pops up indicating that the device will be reset the next time it tries to sync. When the device is synced the next time, the device turns yellow and eventually red. The device is not reset but can no longer connect to the mobility connector to sync. The data is stilled on the device. When the green button is selected to reallow the device to sync, that does not enable the sync though.
