Page 88: Administration - Applock
LXE devices with the AppLock feature are shipped to start up in Administration mode with no default password, and when the VX6 is started for the first time, the user has full access to the VX6 and no password prompt is displayed. After the Administrator specifies an application or applications to lock, assigns a password and the VX6 is rebooted (or the hotkey is pressed), the VX6 is then in end-user mode.
Page 89: Setup A New Device
VX6 devices with the AppLock feature are shipped to boot in Administration mode with no default password, thus when the VX6 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.
Page 90: End User Mode
End User Mode End-user mode locks the end-user into the configured application or applications. The end user can still reboot and respond to dialog boxes. Each application is automatically launched and runs in full screen mode when the device boots up. The user cannot unintentionally or intentionally exit the application nor can the end user execute any other applications.
Page 91: End-User Switching Technique
A checkmark indicates applications currently active or available for Launching by the user. When Keyboard is selected, the VX6 default input method (Input Panel, Transcriber, or custom input method) is activated. The check to the left of the application name indicates that the application is active.
Page 92: Hotkey (Activation Hotkey)
Hotkey (Activation hotkey) The default Hotkey (Activation key) is Ctrl+Spc. The key sequence switches the focus between one application and another. Data entry affects the application running in the foreground only. Note that the system administrator may have assigned a different key sequence to use when switching applications.
Page 93: Application Configuration
Application Configuration Settings > Control Panel > Administration icon The default Administrator Hotkey sequence is Shift+Ctrl+A. Administrator mode allows access to all features on the device. When the hotkey is pressed to switch into Administrator mode, a password prompt is displayed (if a password has been configured). A password must be entered within 30 seconds (and within three tries) or the password prompt is removed and the device remains in end-user mode with the focus returned to the locked application.

Page 96: Auto Re-Launch
Auto Re-Launch Auto Re-Launch Default is Enabled. When enabled for a specific application, automatically re-launches it (subject to the specified Auto Re-Launch Delay in seconds) after it terminates. This option allows the Administrator to disable the re-launch operation. AppLock cannot prevent all applications from closing.
Page 97: Manual (Launch)
Manual (Launch) Default is Disabled. Enabling this option allows the end-user to launch the specified application(s). Upon bootup completion an application with Manual enabled is listed on the Switchpad accompanied by a checkmark that indicates the application is currently active or available for Launching. When an application name is tapped by the end-user, the application is launched (if inactive) and brought to the foreground.
Page 98: Match
Match Default is blank (match is not used). AppLock works by associating display windows with the launched process ID. If an application uses different process IDs for windows it creates, the Match field must be used. Use the Match field to specify up to 32 characters of the class name for the application. For example: DOS applications using a standard DOS display box should specify condev_appcls in the Match textbox.
Page 99: Security Panel
