Administration - AppLock
Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administration
Use this option to set parameters for computers intended to be used as dedicated, single or multiple application devices. In
other words, only the application or feature specified in the AppLock configuration by the Administrator are available to the VX7
user.
VX7 devices with the AppLock feature are shipped to start up in Administration mode with no default password, and when the
VX7 is started for the first time, the user has full access to the VX7 and no password prompt is displayed. After the
Administrator specifies an application or applications to lock, assigns a password and the VX7 is rebooted (or the hotkey is
pressed), the VX7 is then in end-user mode.
AppLock also contains a component which sets configuration parameters and application launch settings as specified by the
Administrator.
AppLock is designed to be run on certified Windows CE based devices only. The AppLock program is part of the factory
software load.
VX7 AppLock is setup by the Administrator by tapping Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administration.
Configuration parameters are specified by the AppLock Administrator for the mobile device 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. The administrator-specified applications are automatically launched in the specified order
and run in full screen mode when the device boots up.
When the mobile device is reset to factory default values, for example after a cold reset, the Administrator may need to
reconfigure the AppLock parameters.
The assumption, in this chapter, is that the first user to power up a new mobile device is the system administrator.
Note: AppLock Administrator Control panel file Launch option does not inter-relate with similarly-named options contained in
other VX7 Control Panels.
Note: A few applications do not follow normal procedures when closing. AppLock cannot prevent this type of application
from closing, but is notified that the application has closed. For these applications, AppLock immediately restarts the
application (see Auto Re-Launch) which causes the screen to flicker. 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.
AppLock is updated periodically as new options become available. Contact Technical Assistance for downloads and update
availability.
