134 ActiveSync / Get Connected Process ActiveSync indicator on the host remains gray The host doesn't know you are trying to connect. May mean a bad cable, with no control lines connected, or an incompatible baud rate. Try the connection again, with a known-good cable. Testing connection with a terminal emulator program, or a serial port monitor You can use HyperTerminal or some other terminal emulator program to do a rough test of ActiveSync.
Utilities 135 Utilities These utilities are pre-loaded by LXE. LAUNCH.EXE All applications to be installed into memory are normally in the form of Windows CE CAB files. The CAB files exist as separate files from the main installation image, and need to be copied to the mobile device using an internal Flash card or from a PC using ActiveSync. The CAB files are loaded into the folder System, which is the internal Flash drive.
136 Utilities Once the drivers are loaded, the slot can be turned on. The value in the PCMCIA field is a DWORD, representing the number of seconds to wait after installing the CAB file, but before activating the slot (a latency to allow the thread loading the driver to finish installation). The default value of 0 means the slot is not powered on. The default values for the default radio drivers (listed below) is 1, meaning one second elapses between the CAB file loading and the slot powering up.

140 Utilities Enabling GrabTime The MX7 has a GrabTime utility which can automatically synchronize the MX7 with a time server (via an Internet connection) at boot up. By default, using GrabTime for time synchronization at boot up is Off. To enable GrabTime to run automatically at boot up, run \Windows\grabtime.reg and perform a warmboot. For more detail, see “LAUNCH.EXE”, earlier in this chapter. Note: This utility affects the behavior of GrabTime at warmboot. After a coldboot, GrabTime is disabled.
Utilities 141 Launch App / Launch Command The Launch App / Launch Command are defined for use by CE administrators. The VK_LAUNCH_APP1-4 and VK_LAUNCH_CMD1-4 keys are parsed and executed directly by the keyboard driver. They are configurable in registry keys to execute any desired function. The CMD keys differ from the APP keys in that they call the ShellExecuteEx API, which lets them open documents directly; the APP keys only start EXE applications.
142 Utilities LXE Login Utility Odyssey Client only. The LXE Login Utility is installed on the mobile device by LXE; however, the MX7 is not configured to load the LXE Login Utility automatically. The LXE Login Utility is designed to let you specify an Odyssey Client login name for the currently selected profile. The login prompt is displayed at system boot and when resuming from suspend. MX7 focus remains on the login prompt until it is dismissed.
Utilities 143 Using the Utility If multiple Profiles are configured on the mobile device, LXE Login Utility changes the username for the active profile. Important: The profile must be changed before suspending the unit if the active profile username is to be changed when returning from Suspend.

It is intended as an addition to the standard Microsoft Windows CE API documentation. Details of many of the calls in the LXE guide may be found in Microsoft’s documentation. The APIs documented in the programming guide are included in LXEAPI.ZIP, which is in the standard Windows CE image on the mobile device.
148 Reflash the Mobile Device Reflash the Mobile Device Note: When reflashing, LXE recommends using a SD Flash card that is greater than 64MB. Files to be loaded on the Flash card are: MX7NK.BIN, MX7EBOOT.NB0, MX7.BIT The MX7 reloads the operating system upon every warm boot or cold boot. Anything not saved or preserved to the registry is lost. In warm boot, the OS and the CAB files are reloaded from the internal SD card and the preserved registry is also reloaded.
Chapter 4 AppLock Introduction 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. Configuration parameters are specified by the AppLock Administrator for the mobile device enduser. 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.
150 Setup a New Device Multi-Application Version Access: Start | Settings | Control Panel | Administration icon A mobile device running the Multi-Application version of AppLock becomes a dedicated, multiple application device. Only the applications or features specified in the AppLock configuration by the Administrator are available to the user. This version offers a user-mode taskbar icon allowing the user to switch between user applications.
Administration Mode 151 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: 1. Create/change the keystroke sequence to activate administrator access. 2. Create/change the password for administrator access. 3.
152 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. There are several situations that display a password prompt after a password has been configured. If the configured hotkey is pressed, the password prompt is displayed.
Multi-Application Configuration 153 Multi-Application Configuration 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).
154 Multi-Application Configuration Enter the Title to be associated with the application’s icon. The assumption is that multiple copies of the same application may need unique text for the icon in order to differentiate them in the application switcher panel. Enter the command line parameters for the application in the Arguments text box. Enter the Order in which the application is to be loaded or presented to the end user. Applications are launched in lowest to highest number order.
Multi-Application Configuration 155 Application text box and the internet application should be entered in the command line. In this case, do not check the Internet checkbox. Security Panel Figure 4-4 Security Panel – Multi-Application 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 2nd key keypress is an invalid keypress for a hotkey sequence.
156 Multi-Application Configuration Password Move the cursor to the Password text box. The passwords entered in the Password and Confirm Password fields must match. Passwords are case sensitive. When the user exits the Administrator Control panel, the two passwords are compared to verify that they match. If they do not match, a dialog box is displayed notifying the user of the error.
Multi-Application Configuration All 157 All messages are displayed. Tap the Refresh button after changing from one view level to another. The filtered records are displayed, all others are not displayed. Log Note: If a level higher than Error is selected, the status should be cleared frequently by the administrator.

254 Creating Custom Key Maps Creating Custom Key Maps Prerequisite: LXE MX7 SDK CD [MX7A504CE50SDK] Introduction A command-line compiler called KEYCOMP.EXE is provided on the MX7 SDK CD. Using this compiler, the System Administrator can convert a sample default key map text file into a custom key map text file which, when loaded onto the mobile device, can be chosen by the user to replace the default mobile device keymap and then switched back when they are finished using the customized keys.
Creating Custom Key Maps 255 Keymap Source Format The source file DEFAULT.KEY is supplied with the keymap compiler. This is the commented source for the default keymap Default. The comments in this file should make the majority of this document redundant. There is a copy of this file at the end of this section, in “Sample Input File”. This section should be read while referring to this sample source, for simplicity.
256 Creating Custom Key Maps MAPROWS Number of rows in each keymap table. This is defined by the hardware keyboard. ALGOR Defines the algorithm for converting row/column to internal scan code. Current values are: MX3X MX7 Note: [ MX7 is scancode = ((column << 3) + row) ] The field MAPDESC needs to be unique, but MAPNAME does not. SPECIAL Section . [Special] KEYSHIFT=COL8ROW0 KEYALT=COL9ROW0 .
Creating Custom Key Maps 257 MAP_NORMAL55 (MX7 only) no modifiers, 55-key map MAP_ORANGE55 (MX7 only) orange modifier, 55-key map MAP_BLUE55 (MX7 only) blue modifier, 55-key map MAP_SHIFT55 (MX7 only) shift modifier, 55-key map MAP_ORANGESHFT (MX7 only) orange and shift modifiers In addition, certain keymaps are used for special adjustment functions within the keyboard driver, via the CHANGE+mapname specification: MAP_VOLUM (or) MAP_VOLUME special keymap for volume adjustment (not on MX7) MAP_
258 Creating Custom Key Maps Keycomp Error Messages Most error messages will specify the line within the keymap source file where the error occurred. Duplicate key A COLxROWx code was found in a MAP table, but that COL/ROW already has a value assigned. GENERAL section must come before MAP The GENERAL section must come first, or at least before any MAP sections.
Creating Custom Key Maps 259 Invalid ROWCOL format A COLxROWx was expected, but the format was not correct. The only valid formats are: COLxROWx, COLxxROWx, COLxROWxx, or COLxxROWxx, where xx are decimal numeric digits (0-9). Invalid scan code The scan code parsed is not recognized. The scan code can take one of the following formats: • • • • • • • VK_code 'x' SHIFT+VK_code SHIFT+'x' ACTION+code CHANGE+mapname OPEN Invalid section name %s The section name parsed is invalid.
260 Creating Custom Key Maps MAPNAME must be all numerics Because of limitations in Microsoft Layout Manager, the map name must be all numeric (4, 5, or 6 digits). The name parsed did not fit this limitation. No definition for map MAP_2ND There is no 2nd keymap defined. The keyboard driver requires this keymap to be defined. This message comes from the post-parse validation, so no line # is specified. No definition for map MAP_2NDSHIFT There is no 2nd-SHIFT keymap defined.
Creating Custom Key Maps 261 No definition for MapHead.keyscan1 No Scan Key 1 definition was found. The keyboard driver requires this key to be defined somewhere in one of the keymaps. This message comes from the post-parse validation, so no line # is specified. No definition for MapHead.keyscan2 No Scan Key 2 definition was found. The keyboard driver requires this key to be defined somewhere in one of the keymaps. This message comes from the post-parse validation, so no line # is specified.
262 Creating Custom Key Maps Value outside of section A value (defined as value=data) is only valid within a section (defined as [section]). A value line was found when a section header line was expected.
