AppLock - Single Application Configuration 291
E-EQ-MX5CERG-F-ARC MX5X Reference Guide
Setup a New Device
LXE 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. After the administrator specifies an application to lock, a password
is assigned and the device is rebooted or the hotkey is pressed, the device switches to end-user
mode.
Briefly, the process to configure a new device is as follows:
1. Insert a fully charged battery and press the Power button. See Chapter 1 – Introduction.
2. Connect an external power source to the device (if required). See Chapter 1 – Introduction.
3. Adjust screen display, audio volume and other parameters if desired. Install accessories (e.g.
handstrap, stylus). See Chapter 1 – Introduction.
4. Tap Start | Settings | Control Panel | Administration icon.
5. Assign a hotkey switching sequence.
6. Assign an application on the Control tab screen. See Control Panel.
7. Assign a password on the Security tab screen. See Security Panel.
8. Select a view level on the Status tab screen, if desired. See Status Panel.
9. Tap OK.
10. Press the hotkey sequence to launch AppLock and lock the configured application(s).
11. The device is now in end-user mode.
Note: LXE has made the assumption, in this appendix, that the first user to power up a new
mobile device is the system administrator.
Note: AppLock cannot support multiple windows of some applications. Attempting to open
multiple windows of RFTerm or Pocket Word will cause AppLock to switch to
administration mode.
Administration Mode
Administration mode gives full access to the device and 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.
• Create/change the password for administrator access.
• Assign the name of the application, or applications, to lock.
• Select the command line of the application, or applications, to lock.
In addition to these configuration options, the administrator can view and manage the status logs
of AppLock sessions.
Administrator default values for this device:
Administrator Hotkey Shift+Ctrl+A
Password none
Application path and name none
Application command line none
