You can configure the terminal to perform one of three actions at startup:
• Launch a FactoryTalk View Machine Edition HMI application.
• Launch the FactoryTalk View Machine Edition Configuration mode of
the terminal where you load and run applications, configure start-up
options and terminal settings, and enable or disable desktop access.
• Launch the Windows Explorer desktop.
The factory default state and start-up option following a firmware upgrade is to
launch the terminal in Configuration mode. Refer to
page 51 for details on how to change the start-up option.
Any of the terminals can be configured to allow or restrict desktop access. From
the desktop, you can perform system and control panel operations, or run
third-party applications. Terminals with optional, extended features (catalog
numbers ending in 9) can additionally run viewers, media players, and launch the
web browser. You can even allow access temporarily to perform specific tasks,
then disable desktop access to prevent unauthorized changes.
