Chapter 3: Admin & User Mode
Introduction
WF28 PDA has two distinct modes of operation: Admin and User Mode.
In admin mode, system administrators or field service technicians have full rights to configure system settings
and install / un-install applications. This is a mode typically used for initial stage of setup & ongoing
maintenance.
The user mode, as its name implies, is specially designed for end users who use WF28 PDA as a dedicated
working terminal or appliance. As system configurations are completely hidden in user mode, e.g. IP address,
Wi-Fi keys, application shortcuts & etc, system integrators (SIs) would find deploying WF28 much fewer
support calls in compare with deploying consumer based PDAs. Since users have no way to gain access to
file system in this mode, no files or local database can be tampered or taken out of the device. Therefore,
data security could be enforced effortlessly.
The desktop / program shortcuts could be customized independently in admin and user mode. Standard
control panel features in admin mode would be reduced in user mode. See the diagrams below for the
differences
