3. Click OK when you are finished.
Note: You cannot edit the settings for the applications added to this list by Sprint.
Launching an Application Automatically
Applications can be automatically launched when you connect to particular network
profiles. Follow these steps to configure automatic application launching:
1. Ensure that the application you wish to launch appears in the list on the App Launcher
settings tab. (See “Adding an Application” on page 44.)
2. In the App Launcher tab, click the Modify button next to the application that you wish to
autolaunch. The
Monitor Details window appears (see page 49).
3. If you want to be prompted before the application is launched automatically, select
Prompt in the Launch options box. Otherwise, select Auto.
4. If you don’t want the application to launch immediately upon making a connection,
enter a time delay (in seconds) in the
Launch Delay field.
Note: A time delay is necessary only if the application is not functioning correctly because it is
being launched too quickly after a connection is established. Applications that must run over
a VPN connection are the most likely to require such a delay because VPN client software
may take some time to launch and log into a VPN.
5. Click OK to exit the Monitor Details window.
6. Click OK to exit the Settings window.
7. Select Tools > Profiles from the menu bar in the main window.
8. Select the profile with which you wish to launch the applications you specified earlier.
9. Click Edit. The Profile Properties window appears.
10. On the General tab, check Enable Application Launcher.
11. Click OK to exit the Profile Properties window.
Special Cases
Internet Explorer and VPN client software are special cases. Although you can add either
Internet Explorer or a VPN client to the list of launched applications here, it is not the easiest
or the most flexible way to launch these applications.
● Each
network profile has a dedicated setting that specifies whether Internet Explorer
should be launched upon successful connection. (See “Profile Properties: General”
on page 80 for more information.)
● Spr
int SmartView includes a dedicated interface for configuring and launching VPN
clients. You must use this interface if you wish to take advantage of the enhanced
VPN functions provided by the Sprint SmartView software. (See “Automatically
Launching a VPN Connection” on page 64 for more information.)
