Administration - AppLock
Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administration
Use this option to set parameters for computers intended to be used as dedicated, single or multiple application devices. In
other words, only the application or feature specified in the AppLock configuration by the Administrator are available to the
VX3Plus user.
VX3Plus devices with the AppLock feature are shipped to start up in Administration mode with no default password, and when
the VX3Plus is started for the first time, the user has full access to the VX3Plus and no password prompt is displayed. After
the Administrator specifies an application or applications to lock, assigns a password and the VX3Plus is rebooted (or the
hotkey is pressed), the VX3Plus is then in end-user mode.
AppLock also contains a component which sets configuration parameters and application launch settings as specified by the
Administrator.
AppLock is designed to be run on certified Windows CE based devices only. The AppLock program is part of the factory
software load.
Configuration parameters are specified by the AppLock Administrator for the VX3Plus 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. The administrator-specified applications are automatically launched in the specified order
and run in full screen mode when the device boots up.
When the mobile device is reset to factory default values, for example after a cold reset, the Administrator may need to
reconfigure the AppLock parameters.
The assumption, in this section, is that the first user to power up a new mobile device is the system administrator.
Note: AppLock Administrator Control panel file Launch option does not inter-relate with similarly-named
options contained in other VX3Plus Control Panels.
Note: A few applications do not follow normal procedures when closing. AppLock cannot prevent this type
of application from closing, but is notified that the application has closed. For these applications,
AppLock immediately restarts the application (see Auto Re-Launch) which causes the screen to
flicker. If this type of application is being locked, the administrator should close all other applications
before switching to end-user mode to minimize the screen flicker.
AppLock is updated periodically as new options become available. Contact your representative for assistance, downloads and
update availability.
Setup a New Device
VX3Plus devices with the AppLock feature are shipped to boot in Administration mode with no default password, thus when
the VX3Plus is first booted, the user has full access to the device and no password prompt is displayed. After the administrator
specifies the applications to lock, a password is assigned and the device is rebooted or the hotkey is pressed, the device
switches to end-user mode.
Briefly, the process to configure a new device is as follows:
1. Connect an external power source to the device and press the Power button.
2. Adjust screen display, audio volume and other parameters if desired. Install accessories.
3. Tap Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administration icon.
4. Assign applications on the Control (single application) or Application (dual application) tab screen.
5. Assign a password on the Security tab screen.
