Installing Applications Applications can be installed on the MX7 Tecton from CAB files or package files. Package files have some unique characteristics: • Package files patch the operating system so they become non-volatile. Even a Clean Boot does not remove the programs. • CAB files are (re)installed after a cold boot, but not after a suspend/resume since the OS was not reset and the CAB files are still in use. • Packages can contain registry settings which are installed at setup, similar to a CAB file.
Issue: The package is already installed or is an older version than installed. Solution: Status unsuccessful. The update could not be installed because the update has already been installed or the package file is an earlier version than the version currently installed on the MX7 Tecton. Tap Done to exit the update process. The message that the update could not be installed and is deleted only means that the scheduled update was deleted. The package file IS NOT deleted and remains on the storage card.
Initial Setup The initial setup of ActiveSync must be made via a USB connection. Partnerships can only be created using USB cable connection. Connect via USB The default connection type is USB Client. This is the only connection option supported on the MX7 Tecton.

6 AppLock (Application Locking) Introduction AppLock is designed to be run on Windows based devices only. The AppLock program is factory installed. Configuration parameters are specified by the AppLock Administrator for the MX7 Tecton 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.
• Create/change the password for administrator access. • Assign the name of the application, or applications, to lock. • Select the command line of the application to lock. In addition to these configuration options, the administrator can view and manage the status logs of AppLock sessions.
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 Administrator 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.
When the switch key sequence is pressed on the keypad, the next application in the AppLock configuration is moved to the foreground (in focus) and the previous application moves to the background. The previous application continues to run in the background. End user key presses affect the application in focus only. Hotkey (Activation hotkey) If the MX7 Tecton has been configured to use AppLock to allow the user to switch between applications, the default user Activation key is Ctrl+Spc.
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). 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.
Setting 6-6 Function Global Key Default is Ctrl+Spc. Select the Global Key key sequence the end user is to press when switching between applications. The Global Key default key sequence must be defined by the AppLock Administrator. The Global key is presented to the end user as the Activation key. Global Delay Default is 10 seconds. Enter the number of seconds that Applications must wait before starting to run after reboot. Note: Delay (Global) may not be available in all versions of AppLock.
Launch Button When clicked, displays the Launch options panel for the Filename selected on the Administration panel. Note: Launch order is determined by the Order specified in the Application panel. The Order value does not have to be sequential. Auto At Boot Default is Enabled. When enabled, automatically launches (subject to the specified Delay in seconds) the application after the unit is rebooted.
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. When an application that AppLock cannot prevent from closing terminates, perhaps because of an error condition, AppLock re-launches the application when this option is enabled.
Security 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. A 2nd 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.
Options AppLock uses 3 timeout values when locking applications: Setting Explanation Launch timeout The time to wait for an application to initially launch before timing out. Default value is 60000 milliseconds (60 seconds). Replace timeout The time to wait for an application to replace the current window with another one before timing out. Default value is 20000 milliseconds (20 seconds). Restart timeoutt The time to wait for an application to restart itself before timing out.
Status 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.
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. The system default is ‘None’; however to reduce registry use, the administrator may want to select ‘None’ after verifying the configuration. Tap the Clear button to clear the status information from the registry.
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. These messages contain the word “failure”.
Message Explanation and/or corrective action Could not create event The keyboard filter uses this event at the Administrator Control panel. The EVT_HOTKEYCHG event could not be created. Level LOG_ERROR Could not hook keyboard If the keyboard cannot be controlled, AppLock cannot process the hotkey. This LOG_ERROR failure prevents a mode switch into user mode. Could not start thread HotKeyMon The keyboard filter must watch for hot key changes. The watch process could LOG_ERROR not be initiated.

8 Data Collection Wedge Introduction Set scanner/imager keyboard wedge parameters, enable or disable symbologies from being scanned, scanner icon appearance, active scanner port, and scan key settings. Assign baud rate, parity, stop bits and data bits for available COM ports. Scanner parameters apply to the MX7 Tecton integrated scanner/imager only. Bar code manipulation parameters apply to bar codes scanned by the MX7 Tecton integrated scanner/imager engine.
Data Processing Overview Bar code data processing involves several steps. Some steps may be skipped during the processing depending on user selections on the Symbology Settings panels. The steps are presented below in the order they are performed on the scanned data. 1. Scanned data is tested for a code ID and length (Min/Max). If it matches, it is processed per the rules in place for that symbology. If the scan does not meet the criteria for that symbology, it is processed based on the settings for All.
Main The Data Collection Wedge supports up to three concurrent data collection devices. For example, the internal scanner could be used to collect data at the same time a Bluetooth scanner is paired and/or a serial device is attached to COM1. The MX7 Tecton must be in a desktop cradle to use a tethered scanner.
Continuous Scan Mode Note: Do not scan decoder engine configuration bar codes when Continuous scan mode is on. Configuration bar codes do not decode when scanned while Continuous Mode is On. Continuous scan mode is only available if the MX7 Tecton is equipped with a Symbol or a Honeywell scanner. Continuous scan mode draws power from the main battery every time a scan read/decode sequence is performed. Enabling Continuous Scan Mode will ensure the laser is always on and decoding.
COM1 does not support 5V switchable power on Pin 9 for tethered scanners. Notification Use this panel to toggle internal scanner sounds on and off. Internal scanner sound, by default, is enabled. Setting Default Enable Internal Scanner Sound Enabled Good Scan Vibration Off Bad Scan Vibration Off Vibration Enable Good scan vibration or Bad scan vibration when a tactile response on a good scan or bad scan is desired.
Since the Data Collection Wedge uses the operating system interface to emit sounds/beeps, if the volume/vibrate icon is set to anything other than On, Wedge beeps do not sound. Wedge vibration is not affected by the System setting. Beep/sound volume and vibration can be quickly toggled on and off by tapping the volume icon on the Windows Mobile Today screen.
Data Options Bar code manipulation parameter settings on this tab are applied to the incoming data resulting from successful bar code scans sent to the MX7 Tecton for processing. Note: The Data Options tab contains only those options available for one type of decoding engine.
Panel for a Hand Held Products scan engine Panel for any other type of scan engine The HHP Properties button is only present if the MX7 Tecton is equipped with a Hand Held Products (HHP) imager. 1. Choose an option in the Enable Code ID drop-down box: • None • AIM • Honeywell • Symbol • HHP • Custom. 2. The Symbology screen is displayed. Enable Code ID This parameter programs the internal scanner to transmit the specified Code ID and/or determines the type of bar code identifier being processed.
Enable Code ID Options Depending on the model of the scanner installed, some combination of the following IDs are listed. None Programs the internal scanner to disable transmission of a Code ID. The only entry in the Symbology popup list is All. AIM Programs the internal scanner to transmit the AIM ID with each bar code. The combo box in the Symbology panel is loaded with the known AIM ID symbologies for that platform, plus any configured Custom code IDs.
The Code ID drop down box only filters the available symbologies in the Symbology drop down box by the selected Code ID. This Code ID box does not enable or disable the Code ID as that function is controlled by the Enable Code ID box on the Data Options tab. The Symbology drop down box contains all symbologies supported based on the Code ID selected above. An asterisk appears in front of symbologies that have already been configured or have been modified from the default value.
When All is selected in the Symbology field and the settings are changed, the settings in this dialog become the defaults, used unless overwritten by the settings for individual symbologies. This is also true for Custom IDs, where the code IDs to be stripped are specified by the user. Note: In Custom mode on the Data Options tab, any Code IDs not specified by the user will not be stripped, because they will not be recognized as Code IDs.
The operation of each type of stripping is defined below: Leading This strips the number of characters specified from the beginning of the collected data (not including Code ID). The data is stripped unconditionally. This action is disabled by default. Trailing This strips the number of characters specified from the end of the collected data (not including Code ID). The data is stripped unconditionally. This action is disabled by default.
Clear All When no item in the Custom IDs list is selected, tapping the Clear All button clears the Custom ID list and any text written (and not yet added or inserted) in the Name and ID Code text boxes. Remove The Clear All button changes to a Remove button when an item in the Custom IDs list is selected. Tap the desired line item and then tap the Remove button to delete it. Line items are Removed one at a time. Contents of the text box fields are cleared at the same time.
The prefix is added to the output buffer for the Symbology selected from the pulldown list. If ‘All’ is selected, the prefix is added for any symbology that has not been specifically configured. Add Suffix To enable a suffix, check the Suffix check box and enter the desired string in the textbox. The default is disabled (unchecked) with a blank text string. When bar code data is processed, the Suffix string is sent to the output buffer after the bar code data.
HHP Symbologies Advanced properties are available when an integrated Hand Held Products imager is installed in the MX7 Tecton. Advanced properties are applicable regardless of the ID type selected (AIM or HHP). HHP = Hand Held Products. Not all HHP symbologies have Advanced options. Symbologies with Advanced options are documented on the following pages. Symbologies with Advanced button function are marked with an asterisk in the table below.

Therefore if a change is made to a parameter to either the EPCE0 or UPCE1 Advanced Properties that same change is automatically made to the Advanced Properties for the other symbology. Note: UPCE0 and UPCE1 are enabled as the same symbology at the scanner. Therefore, the only way for UPCE1 configuration to be used is if UPCE0 is disabled.
HHP Properties When the MX7 Tecton is equipped with a Hand Held Products imager, this option is used to configure imager scanning parameters. Option Action Centering The centering feature is used to allow the user to accurately scan a selected bar code among a group of bar codes that are located closely together. When centering is turned on, the imager will only decode bar codes that intersect the centering window defined by the user. The centering window must intersect the center of the bar code.
Ctrl Char Mapping The Ctrl Char Mapping button on the Data Options tab activates a dialog to define the operations the Data Collection Wedge performs on control characters (values less than 0x20) embedded in bar codes. Control characters can be replaced with user-defined text which can include hat encoded or hex encoded values. In key message mode, control characters can also be translated to their control code equivalent key sequences.
value 0x0d received in any scanned bar code (or defined in the prefix or suffix) will be replaced with the value 0x0a. The Wedge then sends Ctrl+J to the receiving application, rather than Ctrl+M. List Box The list box shows all user-defined control characters and their assigned replacements. All replacements are enclosed in single quotes to delimit white space that has been assigned. Delete This button is grayed unless an entry in the list box is highlighted.

9 Enhanced Launch Utility Introduction The launch utility has two functions: • Process registry based Launch items • Process script based Launch items The registry based Launch items are processed before the script based Launch items. Registry Based Launch Items Registry based Launch items (documented here) are processed before the Script Based Launch items, see Script Based Launch Items (page 9-4). The Launch utility can use registry entries to auto-launch Windows CAB files.
• The Order field is used to force a sequence of events; Order=0 is first, and Order=99 is last. Two items which have the same order are installed in the same pass, but not in a predictable sequence. • The Delay field is used to add a delay after the item is loaded, before the next is loaded. The delay is given in seconds, and defaults to 0 if not specified. If the install fails (or the file to be installed is not found), the delay does not occur.
Launch Startup Options The Launch utility uses registry entries to enable or disable startup options. These flags are located in the registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\LXE\Launch These can be configured using RegEdit.
Script Based Launch Items Note: Script Based Launch items (documented here) are processed after Registry Based Launch items, see Registry Based Launch Items (page 9-1). The Enhanced (script based) portion of the Launch utility provides several features: • Launch .CAB file • Run .EXE file • Run .EXE file using specified parameters • Run .BAT file • Process .
Parameters are separated by a single comma. If a parameter requires a comma within it, the whole parameter must be enclosed in quote marks ("). Extra spaces are ignored between the comma and the next parameter. For Example To delete a file called Ive, got, commas, in, my, name.txt, use the command delete,"Ive, got, commas, in, my, name.txt". Enclosing quotes are used to allow commas inside a parameter, but are removed prior to executing the command. Thus, delete,deleteme.txt is the same as delete,“deleteme.
Commands Supported by Launch Copy ElseIfFile IfFile Mkdir Delete EndIf IfTerm Rmdir DelRegData EndIfFile Launch SetRegData DelRegKey EndIfTerm LaunchCmd SetRegKey FCopy Message Shortcut ElseIf The commands supported by Launch are detailed below. Square brackets indicate that a parameter is optional. Characters in italics represent a variable, and not a literal. Copy Description Copies a file but does not overwrite an existing file.
DelRegKey Description Deletes a specified registry subkey. Syntax Delregkey,key,subkey Parameter key: The abbreviated major registry key where you want to delete the subkey. Can be one of: • cr or hkcr (HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT) • cu or hkcu (HKEY_CURRENT_USER) • lm or hklm (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE). The case of key does not matter. subkey: The subkey you want to delete. Example Notes delregkey,LM,Software\WidgetsPlc\OurApp Deletes the specified subkey and all of its contents (if any).
EndIf Description Ends conditional command block begun with the previous IF command. Syntax EndIf Parameter None Example See IfFile (page 9-9). Notes Results are unpredictable if not paired properly with If... command. EndIfFile Description Ends conditional command block begun with the previous IF command. Syntax EndIfFile Parameter None Example See IfFile (page 9-9). Notes Results are unpredictable if not paired properly with IfFile command.
IfFile Description Begins the conditional execution of a block of commands only if the specified file exists. Syntax IfFile,file Parameter file: The path and filename to determine if the commands should be executed Example Notes IfFile,\System\MyData.dat any number of commands, executed if file exists ElseIfFile any number of commands, executed if file does not exist EndIfFile If the file already exists the commands are executed. This test does not care if file is a file or directory.
LaunchCmd Description Runs a program with arguments. Syntax Launchcmd,program,arguments,wait-code Parameters program: The full path and filename of the program to be run. arguments: The command line arguments for program. wait-code: Tells Launch how to behave when the program is running. w(ait) causes Launch to stop processing the script until the program has finished executing. c(ontinue) makes Launch continue processing the script while the program is executing.
Rmdir Description Removes a directory. Syntax Rmdir,dir Parameters dir: The full path and name of the directory to be removed. Example Notes rmdir,\Program Files\MyApp A directory cannot be removed if it contains files or subdirectories. SetRegData Description Adds or updates a data field in the registry. Syntax Setregdata,key,subkey,type,field,data[,data2][,data3]... Parameter key: The abbreviated major registry key where you want to create/update the subkey.
SetRegKey Description Adds a sub key to the registry. Syntax Setregkey,key,subkey Parameters key: The abbreviated major registry key where you want to create the subkey. Can be one of: • cr or hkcr (HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT) • cu or hkcu (HKEY_CURRENT_USER) • lm or hklm (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE). The case of key doesn’t matter. subkey: The subkey you want to create. Example Notes Setregkey,LM,Software\MyApp Attempting to create a key that already exists does not cause an error.
Launch Error Messages Launch displays a message if it encounters an error during the processing of a script. It is possible to get cascading error messages, as Launch does not stop processing the script if it encounters an error. An example of this would be a failure creating a directory causing the failure of all files copied to that directory.
Error Message Given by Description Registry Value Delete Failed error- DelRegData code There was a problem deleting the registry data. Most likely a bad subkey. Registry Value Set Failed errorcode SetRegData There was a problem setting the registry data. Most likely a bad subkey. Shortcut Creation Failed errorcode Shortcut There was a problem encountered creating the shortcut. Unable to open file script-file - There was a problem opening the script-file.
