Application Configuration

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. Without entry of a valid password, the switch into Administrator mode will not occur.

The password prompt is displayed if a password has been configured. When the valid password is entered, the Administration panel is displayed. When a valid password is not entered within 30 seconds, the user is returned to the System Panel.

If a password has not been configured, the Administrator panel is displayed.

Note: Before setting up multiple instances of the same application, make sure the targeted software application will allow two instances to run at the same time.

Application

Use the Application tab options to select the applications to launch when the device boots up in End user Mode.

If no application is specified when the Administrator Panel is closed, the MX7 Tecton reboots into Administrator mode. If a password has been set, but an application has not been specified, the user will be prompted for the password before entering administration mode. The password prompt remains on the display until a valid password is entered.
