Lock

The lock options usually go hand in hand with the full screen options on the previous conﬁ guration page.

With default settings in use, resetting or pulling the battery out of the unit will show the user the Windows

CE desktop, once the unit has restarted. This can be undesirable for a browser based application as it can

confuse users, require additional training and may be a security hazard. For this reason you can conﬁ gure

the unit to always launch Internet Explorer when the device starts, and to start it in locked mode. Locked

mode means that Internet Explorer covers the entire screen, and there is no way for the user to get out

of this mode, except for pressing the unlock key and entering the unlock code. When the automatic start

option is in use, Internet Explorer starts by ensuring that the network link is up and running, before loading

the start page. This means that if you use for instance a Cisco Aironet 350 or Option Globetrotter GPRS

card, the browser will wait for these to re-establish their connection before proceeding. During this time the

keyboard and touch screen is disabled, so the user cannot interfere with this process.
