Page 121: Passwords
Passwords A password must be configured. If the password is not configured, a new device switches into Administration mode without prompting for a password. In addition to the Administrator hotkey press, a mode switch occurs if inaccurate information has been configured or if mandatory information is missing in the configuration. There are several situations that display a password prompt after a password has been configured.
Page 122: Hotkey (Activation Hotkey)
Hotkey (Activation hotkey) If the MX7 Tecton has been configured to use AppLock to allow the user to switch between applications, the default user Activation key is Ctrl+Spc. The key sequence switches the focus between one application and another. Data entry affects the application running in the foreground only.
Page 123: Application Configuration
Use the Application tab options to select the applications to launch when the device boots up in End user Mode. If no application is specified when the Administrator Panel is closed, the MX7 Tecton reboots into Administrator mode. If a password has been set, but an application has not been specified, the user will be prompted for the password before enter- ing administration mode.
Page 124 Setting Function Launch Button See following section titled Launch Button (page 119). Global Key Default is Ctrl+Spc. Select the Global Key key sequence the end user is to press when switching between applications. The Global Key default key sequence must be defined by the AppLock Ad- ministrator.
Page 125: Launch Button
Launch Button When clicked, displays the Launch options panel for the Filename selected on the Administration panel. Note: Launch order is determined by the Order specified in the Application panel. The Order value does not have to be sequential. Auto At Boot Default is Enabled.
Page 126 Auto Re-Launch Default is Enabled. When enabled for a specific application. automatically re-launches it (subject to the specified Auto Re-Launch Delay in seconds) after it terminates. This option allows the Administrator to disable the re-launch operation. AppLock cannot prevent all applications from closing. When an application that AppLock cannot prevent from clos- ing terminates, perhaps because of an error condition, AppLock re-launches the application when this option is enabled.
Page 127: Security
Security Setting an Activation Hotkey Specify the hotkey sequence that triggers AppLock to switch between administrator and user modes and the password required to enter Administrator mode. The default hotkey sequence is Shift+Ctrl+A. A 2nd key keypress is an invalid keypress for a hotkey sequence. Move the cursor to the Hot Key text box.

Page 151: Main
The Data Collection Wedge supports up to three concurrent data collection devices. For example, the internal scanner could be used to collect data at the same time a Bluetooth scanner is paired and/or a serial device is attached to COM1. The MX7 Tecton must be in a desktop cradle to use a tethered scanner.
Page 152: Continuous Scan Mode
Continuous Mode is On. Continuous scan mode is only available if the MX7 Tecton is equipped with a Symbol or a Honeywell scanner. Continuous scan mode draws power from the main battery every time a scan read/decode sequence is performed.
