Steady State Mode

Iotellect operators often work in environment that prohibits them from accessing their workstation's operating system, Iotellect Client workspace configuration, and Iotellect Server configuration. They perform everyday duties, such as monitoring a network or controlling a manufacturing process, by using only custom-developed widgets grouped into dashboards.

Such operators may log in to operating system and Iotellect Client in a so-called Steady State Mode. In this mode, only Iotellect Client application is allowed, most operating system function keys are disabled, and no windows open automatically upon startup. Workspace editing is prohibited. Once connected to a server, Iotellect Client launches auto-run actions for opening necessary dashboards that constitute operator interface.

In Windows-family operation systems, Steady State Mode is activated by:

  • Disabling Windows Task Manager and replacing Windows Shell to the Iotellect Client executable

  • Specifying the -t (Steady State Mode) and -s (Simple Mode) command line switches

To activate Steady State mode for a specific Windows user, log in as this user and import the following file into the registry:
