Locking Stations in Full Screen and Disabling Menus
You can restrict access to non-Station software on an operator Station by
implementing one or more of the following security measures:
• Lock the Station window in full screen so that users cannot resize the
window or access operating system functions and non-Station applications.
• Disable the Exit menu choice so users cannot close down this Station.
•Disable the Setup menu choice so that users cannot change the connection
or display settings for this Station.
•Disable the Connect menu choice so that users cannot attempt to connect to
a different server and disconnect from the current server.
Access to Intranet and Internet sites is disabled by default on Station. For
information on enabling full or restricted access via Station’s SafeBrowse feature,
see “Web Access Tab” on page 71.
There are also a number of operating system-based security measures that you
can implement to prevent unauthorized access to a computer’s operating system
and non-Station software. For information about securing Windows systems, see
the administration guide.
Changing the Station Command Line
To lock the Station window in full screen and to disable menu choices, you need
to use various switches to change a Station’s command line.
The syntax options for a Station command line are as follows:
Station [-s[f][x][s][c]]
where:
For example, to use opsetup.stn as the default setup file for this Station, and
to disable the Exit and Setup menu choices, enter:
station.exe opsetup.stn -sxs
-sf Disables window resizing so that Station can only operate in full
screen mode
-sx Disables the Exit menu choice
-ss Disables the Setup menu choice
-sc Disables the Connect menu choice
