Page 229: Chapter 6 Applock
Introduction Note: LXE has made the assumption, in this chapter, that the first user to power up a new mobile device is the system administrator. LXE’s AppLock is designed to be run on LXE certified Windows CE based devices only. LXE loads the AppLock program as part of the LXE customer installation process.
Page 230: Setup A New Device
An MX3Plus default input method (Input Panel, Transcriber, or custom input method) is assigned. LXE CE devices with the AppLock feature are shipped to boot in Administration mode with no default password, thus when the device is first booted, the user has full access to the device and no password prompt is displayed.
Page 231: Administration Mode
If this type of application is being locked, the administrator should close all other applications before switching to end user mode to minimize the screen flicker. Windows accelerator keys such as Alt-F4 are disabled. E-EQ-VX3PLUSRG-A Shift+Ctrl+A none none none VX3Plus Reference Guide...
Page 232: Passwords
To summarize, if an error occurs that prevents AppLock from switching to user mode, the password will not timeout and AppLock will wait until the correct password is entered. Troubleshooting Can’t locate the password that has been set by the administrator? Enter this LXE back door key sequence: Ctrl+L Ctrl+X Ctrl+E...

Administrator mode. If a password has been set, but an application has not been specified, the user will be prompted for the password before entering administration mode. The password prompt remains on the display until a valid password is entered. VX3Plus Reference Guide | Settings | Control Panel | Administration icon Shift+Ctrl+A.
Page 235 See following section titled Launch Button. Note: AppLock Administrator Control panel file Launch option does not inter-relate with similarly-named 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 applications. The Global Key default key sequence must be defined by the AppLock Administrator.
Page 236 Option Scroll Buttons VX3Plus Reference Guide Explanation Use the left and right scroll buttons to move from application setup screen to application setup screen. The left and right buttons update the information on the screen with the previous or next configured application respectively.

Status information is stored in a specific location on the storage device and in a specific logfile specified by the Administrator.

If two copies of the same application are configured, but the application only allows one copy to run at a time, for example Microsoft Pocket Word and LXE RFTerm, the switch to end-user fails. AppLock stays in Administration mode and is stopped until the Administrator password is entered.
