Icons on the Terminal Desktop Taskbar
The icons on the terminal desktop taskbar serve the following functions.
Initial Configuration of MobileView Application Settings
Enhanced Write Filter (EWF)
The Enhanced Write Filter (EWF) is a feature within the operating system of the second
generation MobileView 2711T terminal. When EWF is enabled, the system volume within the
operating system is write-protected, which provides an additional level of robustness for the
operating system.
Before you configure applications on the second generation MobileView 2711T terminal, verify
that EWF is disabled. On the terminal desktop taskbar, the EWF status icon is unlocked
when EWF is disabled.

IMPORTANT
By default, EWF is disabled. EWF must be disabled or any application changes are lost when
the second generation MobileView 2711T terminal is powered down.
Rockwell Automation recommends that you enable EWF to preserve operating system and
application integrity, especially for where the terminal is expected to be frequently connected
and disconnected from junction boxes.
Rockwell Automation recommends that you only enable EWF after applications on the second
generation MobileView 2711T terminal such as FactoryTalk® View Machine Edition (ME) have
been set up.
EWF applies only to the internal storage drive (C:) of the second generation MobileView 2711T
terminal and not to the internal Secure Digital (SD) card drive (D:).
