AppLock is designed to be run on certain certified Windows CE based devices only. The AppLock program is installed as part of the default software load and is configured with the Administration control panel.

Configuration parameters are specified by the AppLock Administrator for the Thor VM2 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 reboot the mobile device and respond to dialog boxes. The administrator-specified applications are automatically launched in the specified order and run in full screen mode when the device boots up.

When the mobile device is reset to factory default values, for example after a cold reset, the Administrator may need to reconfigure the AppLock parameters.

The assumption, in this section, is that the first user to power up a new mobile device is the system administrator.

Note: AppLock Administrator Control panel file Launch option does not inter-relate with similarly-named options contained in other Thor VM2 Control Panels.

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.

AppLock is updated periodically as new options become available. Contact Technical Assistance (page 11-1)for update availability.
