Setup a New Device LXE devices with the AppLock feature are shipped to boot in Administration mode with no default password, thus when the MX7 Tecton is first booted, the user has full access to the device and no password prompt is displayed. After the administrator specifies the applications to lock, a password is assigned and the device is rebooted or the hotkey is pressed, the device switches to end-user mode.
Administration Mode Administration Mode Administration mode gives full access to the mobile device, hardware and software configuration options. The administrator must enter a valid password (when a password has already been assigned) before access to Administration mode and configuration options are allowed. The administrator can configure the following options: Create/change the keystroke sequence to activate administrator access.
End User Mode End User Mode End-user mode locks the end-user into the configured application or applications. The end user can still reboot and respond to dialog boxes. Each application is automatically launched and runs in full screen mode when the device boots up. The user cannot unintentionally or intentionally exit the application nor can the end user execute any other applications.
Hotkey (Activation hotkey) If the mobile device uses LXE’s Multi AppLock to allow the user to switch between applications, the default 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.
End User Internet Explorer (EUIE) End User Internet Explorer (EUIE) AppLock supports applications that utilize Internet Explorer, such as .HTML pages and JAVA applications. The end user can run an application by entering the application name and path in Internet Explorer’s address bar. To prevent the end user from executing an application using this method, the address bar and Options settings dialog are restricted in Internet Explorer.
Application Configuration Application Configuration Settings | Control Panel | Administration icon The default Administrator Hotkey sequence is Shift+Ctrl+A. Administrator mode allows access to all features on the device. When the hotkey is pressed to switch into Administrator mode, a password prompt is displayed (if a password has been configured). A password must be entered within 30 seconds (and within three tries) or the password prompt is removed and the device remains in end-user mode with the focus returned to the locked application.
Note: AppLock Administrator Control panel file Launch option does not inter-relate with similarly-named Button options contained in other LXE Control Panels. Default is Ctrl+Spc. Select the Global Key key sequence the end-user is to press when switching between Global Key applications.
