Q.
Do you wipe the device after each use?
A. No. There are three ways to wipe the device. First, the device is wiped when the maximum number of user
accounts is active on the device and a new account is created. In this case, the oldest created accounted is
removed (in a future OTA update, the oldest accessed account will be removed). Second, the user can access
the delete my account app and remove their account from the device. Third, the administrator (owner) can the
access the Factory reset option and remove all accounts from limited/restricted accounts form the device along
with wiping the owner account (the device will be reset to its factory original state albeit with any OTA updates
applied).
Q.
Can they save data to the device?
A. Yes, any data downloaded by the apps like files, pictures, etc. are saved in the user space. All this is
protected by a user chosen password and remains there until that user is deleted.
Q.
Is the device encrypted?
Android comes with encryption function – where you can encrypt the full device (will take an hour to encrypt –
normally would be on a per user basis) with a numeric PIN/password and decrypt it each time you power it on.
Currently, we have disabled it on the P14T2S – The “Encrypt device” is disabled under the settings->Security.
The P14T2S would normally be physically secured and cannot be easily stolen/displaced – so unlike phones or
tablets, it would be difficult to open the device and retrieve the data from inside it without anyone knowing about
it. Also Full device encryption may be too cumbersome for changing users/patients. So we would have to have
encrypted data on a per app basis. For example, the apps that deal with patient information should be storing
encrypted data on the device for additional confidentiality.
Q.
Can Mobile Device Management applications like MobileIron be loaded on the device?
A. PDi-Tab conforms to standard Android Interface - Version 4.3 Jelly Bean, API Level 18. So any app
written to that interface and not requiring any hardware feature not supported by the PDi-Tab could be
loaded on the Pdi-Tab.
A quick way to check this or any app would be to install the app on the device (in the user space) and
check whether it works as intended. PDi offers device management and Application management
functions through the PDi-PORTAL – a cloud based platform to manage PDi-Tab and applications on
PDi-TAB2.
Q
.
Do Master IP addresses need to be constant or are there other ways to handle dynamic IP
addresses?
A.
We have the provision to have fixed IP address on the P14T2S. But we could solve the problem of
dynamic IP addresses in other ways:
1.
By using the master network name in the cloning configuration - PDi tab has a unique network
name by default - e.g. P14T-051b49d4d72d7422. Other P14T2S’s can access the master device by
name instead of an IP address. An IT Administrator should be able to address this.
2.
It is also possible to keep the clone file on an HTTP server e.g. www<your
websitehere>/P14Tab/clone.ab and use that configuration for slaves.
