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.

Important: 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 Panel

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 MX9 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.

Explanation

 

 

Filename

Default is blank. Move the cursor to the Filename text box and either type the application path or

 

tap the Browse button (the … button). The standard Windows Browse dialog is displayed. After

 

selecting the application from the Browse dialog, tap OK.

 

 

Title

Default is blank. Enter the Title to be associated with the application. The assumption is that

 

multiple copies of the same application may need unique titles in order to differentiate them in

 

the Switchpad.

 

 

Arguments

Default is blank. Enter the command line parameters for the application in the Arguments text

 

box.

 

 

Order

Default is 1. Enter the Order in which the application is to be loaded or presented to the end-

 

user. Applications are launched in lowest to highest number order and do not need to be

 

sequential.
