Managing Android input devices

Does anyone know if it's possible to manage input devices (e.g. USB barcode scanners) on Android+ devices?

I was hoping to load configuration files of a USB barcode scanner (Zebra DS8178) using the tablet it's connected on, through MobiControl. The barcode scanner comes with its own remote management tool (SMS), but that only supports Windows clients.

What data format(s) is/are the configuration files?  And is the target directory a public directory or sandboxed/private directory on the device?

In general, you can add the configuration file(s) and the apk file in the same pcg for deployment, or you can deploy the configuration file(s) to the devices with file-sync rule.

@Raymond, the configuration files are created using 123Scan (scncfg) and I'm afraid the target directory is private.

@Matt, yeah, it's probably best answered at Zebra forum. I'll post it there, thanks.
