Chapter 6 AppLock
Introduction
Note: AppLock Administrator Control panel file Launch option does not inter-relate with
similarly-named options contained in other LXE Control Panels. For example, Keypad
Control Panel LaunchApp and RunCmd options .
Note: LXE has made the assumption, in this chapter, that the first user to power up a new
mobile device is the system administrator.
LXE’s AppLock is designed to be run on LXE certified Windows CE based devices only. LXE
loads the AppLock program as part of the LXE customer installation process.
Configuration parameters are specified by the AppLock Administrator for the mobile device 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 warm boot the mobile device, tap the touch screen, respond to dialog boxes, and if
enabled by the administrator, select applications using the Switchpad.
When the mobile device is reset to factory default values the Administrator may need to
reconfigure the AppLock parameters and the application switching activation key sequence.
Note: AppLock cannot support multiple windows of some applications. Attempting to open
multiple windows of RFTerm or Pocket Word will cause AppLock to switch to
administration mode.
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.
Note: Alpha Mode 3 Tap Keypad Only -- If the input panel is not the HX2 default input method,
the administrator may not be able to switch to user mode since the HX2 does not have
any shift state keys. The Dual Alpha and Triple Tap keypads are not affected by the
available-key exception.
