1
Copy the required LTM.INI
file to the Device Storage “root”
folder of the Tablet.
The “root” refers to the folder
that contains sub-folders such as
Download, Playlists, Music, and
so on.
The LTM.INI file is the configuration file for the LAVA Tablet Manager
application. The “board-type” parameter
MUST
be set correctly for the
tablet being used. There are three sample copies of the file in the release
package, each with a different setting for “board-type”.
File
Tablets
board-type=1\LTM.INI
Tab S2 9.7”, Tab E 8.0”, and Tab 4 10.1”
board-type=2\LTM.INI
Tab E 9.6”, Tab A 8.0”, and Tab A 9.7”
board-type=3\LTM.INI
Tab A 10.1”
Do not keep the “board-type=n” folder name,
only copy the INI file to the tablet root folder.
2
Install LTM.APK.
This application is “sideloaded” onto the tablet. This application appears
in the tablet Application manager as “LAVA Tablet Manager VII”. This
application has no displayable component.
3
Install LBI.APK
This application is “sideloaded” onto the tablet. This application appears
in the tablet Application manager as “Battery Information”.
5
Enable WiFi on the tablet.
The next step requires a valid Internet connection over WiFi.
6
Activate the “LAVA Tablet
Manager VII” as a Device
Administrator.
Locate the “Device administrators” menu. On newer Tablets, the required
menu is under the “Lock screen and security” + “Other security settings”.
On older Tablets, the required menu is under “General” + “Security”.
Enable “LAVA Tablet Manager VII” in the Device Administrator menu,
and then select ACTIVATE.
After selecting activate, the next menu presented is for accepting a
Samsung KNOX license. If you previously installed a Mobile Device
Management application, the KNOX license screen may not be presented,
as it has already been agreed to.
After the KNOX license activation, an Android Toast message reports
success or failure.
If the request fails, disable the application in "Device administrators" and
try again in a few minutes. Ensure you have a connection to the Internet
over WiFi.
7
Disable WiFi (optional)
After completing the Samsung KNOX authentication, the WiFi connection
can be turned off. There is no need to authenticate the LTM application
again, even if installing an LTM update.
8
Disable the tablet Auto Screen
Brightness.
The Auto Screen Brightness must be disabled in the tablet to permit LTM
to manage the screen brightness.
9
Verify the tablet time zone, date,
and time are correct.
Several LTM features require that the correct time is set on the tablet.
End of the Software Installation
Once the STS-RBM Product is working, you may customize the settings in INI file for your project. The
“STS-RBM Reference Manual” contains a detailed description of the INI file. The file format is UTF-8
(simple ASCII). Any simple text editor can be used to view and change an LTM.INI file. The tablets do not
ship with a suitable editor for the INI file as a standard feature
