    A suspended MX7 maintains the date and time for a minimum of two days using a main battery that has reached the Low Warning point and a fully charged backup battery. The MX7 retains data, during a main battery hot swap, for at least 5 minutes.
  • Page 38: Low Battery Warning

    The backup battery is a 50 mAh Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) battery that is factory installed in the unit. The energy needed to maintain the backup battery near full charge at all times is drawn from the MX7 main battery. It takes several hours of operation before the backup battery is capable of supporting the operation of the MX7.

  • Page 66: Administration (For Applock)

    AppLock is designed to be run on Windows CE based devices only. Introduction Configuration parameters are specified by the AppLock Administrator for the MX7 end-user. AppLock is password protected by the Administrator. End-user mode locks the end-user into the configured application or applications. The end user can still reboot the mobile device and respond to dialog boxes.

  • Page 68: Setup A New Device

    New devices with the AppLock feature are shipped to boot in Administration mode with no default password, thus when the MX7 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.
  • Page 69: 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.
  • Page 70: 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.
  • Page 71: 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 hotkey press, a mode switch occurs if inaccurate information has been configured or if mandatory information is missing in the configuration.
  • Page 72: End-User Switching Technique

    A checkmark indicates applications currently active or available for Launching by the user. When Keyboard is selected, the MX7 default input method (Input Panel, Transcriber, or custom input method) is activated. The check to the left of the application name indicates that the application is active.
  • Page 73: 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.
  • Page 74: Application Panel

    Application Panel Note: Users of Single-Application AppLock have a Control tab instead of an Application tab. Some of the options in this section do not apply to the Control tab. Note: If your Application Panel does not look like the figure shown above, you may have the Single Application version.
  • Page 75: Launch Button

    Option Explanation Default is Ctrl+Spc. Select the Global Key key sequence the end-user is to press when switching between appli- Global cations. The Global Key default key sequence must be defined by the AppLock Administrator. The Global key is pre- sented to the end-user as the Activation key.

  • Page 77: Auto Re-Launch

    Auto Re-Launch 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.
  • Page 78: Manual (Launch)

    Manual (Launch) Default is Disabled. Enabling this option allows the end-user to launch the specified application(s). Upon bootup completion an application with Manual enabled is listed on the Switchpad accompanied by a checkmark that indicates the application is currently active or available for Launching. When an application name is tapped by the end-user, the application is launched (if inactive) and brought to the foreground.
  • Page 79: Allow Close

    Allow Close Default is Disabled. When enabled, the associated application can be closed by the end-user. This option allows the administrator to configure applications that consume system resources to be terminated if an error condition occurs or at the end-user’s request. Error conditions may generate a topmost popup requiring an end-user response, memory resource issues requiring an end-user response, etc.
  • Page 80: Match

    Match Match Default is blank (match is not used). AppLock works by associating display windows with the launched process ID. If an application uses different process IDs for windows it creates, the Match field must be used. Use the Match field to specify up to 32 characters of the class name for the application. DOS applications using a standard DOS display box should specify condev_appcls in the Match textbox.
  • Page 81: 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.
  • Page 82: Security Panel

    Security Panel 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 2 key keypress is an invalid keypress for a hotkey sequence. Move the cursor to the Hot Key text box.
  • Page 83: Options Panel

    Options Panel AppLock contains several types of delays and timeouts to accommodate different applications. Please note that the delays specified on the Launch panel are delays before AppLock attempts to start the specified application(s). The timeouts specified on this panel are delays after AppLock has attempted to launch the application. Launch timeout This timeout specifies the period of time for AppLock to wait for the application to initially launch after the application has been called.
  • Page 84: Status Panel

    Status Panel Use the Status panel to view the log of previous AppLock operations and to configure which messages are to be recorded during AppLock operation. Status information is stored in a specific location on the storage device and in a specific logfile specified by the Administrator. For this reason, the administrator can configure the type of status information that is logged, as well as clear the status information.
  • Page 85: Log

    Note: If a level higher than Error is selected, the status should be cleared frequently by the administrator. In addition to the three view levels the administrator can select that all status information be logged or turn off all status information logging completely.
  • Page 86: Applock Help

    When the Administrator is selecting a hotkey sequence to use when switching user modes, they are not allowed to enter key combinations that are reserved by installed software applications. Honeywell has validated RFTerm key combinations ONLY. When RFTerm is installed on the mobile device and an RFTerm restricted key sequence is specified as a hotkey sequence by the Administrator, the following error message is displayed in a message box: Selected hotkey is not allowed.
  • Page 87: Applock Error Messages

    AppLock Error Messages Any messages whose first word is an ‘ing’ word is output prior to the action described in the message. For example, “Switching to admin-hotkey press” is logged after the administrator has pressed the hotkey but prior to starting the switch process. For all operations that can result in an error, an Error level message is displayed when a failure occurs.
