SAM runs on a browser using a GUI interface. It provides an easy and intuitive way to configure and manage the deployment of many Versity smartphones. An administrator can configure any Versity administrative setting in SAM. These settings can be configured at the Device level for a single device, at a Group level for a subset of devices or at an Enterprise level for every device deployed within a facility. These settings are picked up by all registered devices when they heartbeat into SAM. An administrator can view devices in the Device list. Each device provides information as part of its heartbeat and this information enables an administrator to check on activity and usage information. SAM is designed to be the exclusive configuration method for Admin menu options. Because SAM has no way of knowing Admin menu configurations done manually on an individual device, at the next heartbeat SAM’s settings will overwrite any manual changes made on the device. {% hint style="info" %} **SAM is designed for one administrator at a time** If more than one administrator is logged into SAM, a collision of configuration parameters might occur. If one administrator is making changes to SAM parameters and another administrator is also making changes in the same page, you will see a message like this: **New configuration changes: Click here to load settings.** Clicking will refresh the page with the other administrator’s settings, overwriting your changes. You may enter them again but conflicts may occur. {% endhint %} Complete information on SAM’s settings can be found in the *Spectralink Applications Management (SAM) Guide*. Complete information on each Versity app managed by SAM can be found in the *Spectralink Applications Administration* *Guide*. All of the [SAM documents and software](https://support.spectralink.com/s/content/sam-spectralink-application-management-MC7PSL5NUXPFE3BN546UNCJVPMKY) can be found on the Support Site. {% hint style="info" %} **App permissions (Android 13 phones only)** Spectralink Versity 97 Series phones, and the 95/96 Series phones running Versity 3.0 or higher, run on Android 13, which handles permissions differently from Android 10. Refer to the *App Permissions* section of the *Versity Applications Administration Guide* for a list of the permissions that must be granted for Versity software to run properly in Android 13. If you’re not using an EMM but are administering Versity Android 13 phones, SAM provides a QR code you can scan with the phones to automatically set the required permissions. The *Versity DPC Initial Enrollment QR Code* can be found in the *About* section of SAM. See the *Versity Applications Administration Guide* for step-by-step instructions on how to set up Versity Android 13 phones using the QR code. {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.spectralink.net/amie-essentials/release-notes.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
