4. About controls

Control of the tablets can be done directly using the Android interface, touch screens and physical
buttons on the tablets. The rest of the controls can be managed remotely, for example via API for the
control of the LEDs and using Android (java) language for the rest of the usage. Controls are
dependent on Android platform access.

5. Standby modes

Standby mode on Tablets are disabled by default from the factory. A standby mode can only be started
manually via the buttons on the tablet. As the tablets are connected by PoE and based on Android,
there is no technical way to power it on remotely (only if power it cuts into the tablet).

Remote standby is not possible on this Android device, to save power you can perform a screen off
command. The command to send a screen off instruction to the device and disable touch activity is
