Allow Close; Security Panel; Setting An Activation Hotkey - Honeywell MX9 User Manual

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. Also at the administrator's discretion,
these types of applications can be started manually (see Manual [Launch]) by the end-user.

Security Panel

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.
nd
A 2 key keypress is an invalid keypress for a hotkey sequence.
Move the cursor to the Hot Key text box. Enter the new hot key sequence by first pressing the Shift state key followed
by a normal key. The hotkey selected must be a key sequence that the application being locked does not use. The hot-
key sequence is intercepted by AppLock and is not passed to the application.
Input from the keyboard or Input Panel is accepted with the restriction that the normal key must be pressed from the
keyboard when switching modes. The hotkey sequence is displayed in the Hot key text box with <Shift>, <Alt>, and
<Ctrl> text strings representing the shift state keys. The normal keyboard key completes the hotkey sequence. The
hotkey must be entered via the keypad. Some hotkeys cannot be entered via the Input Panel. Also, hotkeys entered via
the Soft Input Panel (SIP) are not guaranteed to work properly when switching operational modes.
For example, if the <Ctrl> key is pressed followed by <A>, Ctrl+A is entered in the text box. If another key is pressed
after a normal key press, the hotkey sequence is cleared and a new hotkey sequence is started.
A normal key is required for the hotkey sequence and is unlike pressing the normal key during a mode switch; this key
can be entered from the SIP when configuring the key. However, when the hotkey is pressed to switch user modes, the
normal key must be entered from the keypad; it cannot be entered from the SIP.
