I have 2 queries regarding SOTI.

1. I know that we can send messages to the devices from SOTI web console. But i am looking for a functionality to send messages to multiple devices (broadcast) with an alarming sound . Do we have any configuration for this ?.
We are using Android plus enrollemnt. 

2. I am using Lockdown mode and i want to display the Wifi SSID i am connected to and my IP address of the device on the lockdown screen. How we can do it ?

For (1), the following can be used if you are using v14.0+ device agent :

     showmessagebox "Your message" NO_TIMER 1 NOTIFY_DEVICE

This may result in either an audible or vibration notification alert when the message is received, depending on the mode chosen in Settings on the targeted device.   However, the audio notification will likely be a short one-off beep rather than an alarm that lasts till the message window is manually closed.

For (2), you can use the following macros in your html template:

  %IP%

  %SSID%

Hi Raymond,
SSID and IP work perctly fine. But the script to send message doesn't work.

It just doesn't send any message or alrming sound to the device.

What i did is create a script using the text below and ran that script. Please advise.

showmessagebox "Test message" NO_TIMER 1 NOTIFY_DEVICE

What are the version and build numbers of your device agent?

And what are the active MDM api shown in configuration tab of your device agent?

Finally, what is the brand/model and Android version of your device?
