FARMSetup & infrastructure
Set up your first PhoneFarm phone, understand the infrastructure, and learn how to maintain and test a fleet.
Setup connects several separate systems: a phone environment, its outbound network route, live controls, an app session and the media you want to use. A phone can be running while another part still needs attention. Understanding those layers makes both setup and troubleshooting easier.
Follow the checklist for the complete PhoneFarm path. Use the equipment and networking references to understand the choices behind a step, then learn how to maintain devices and check app, regional and campaign experiences with a repeatable test plan.
