2  Using Your Motion Tablet Client

Among the new security features, the Microsoft Windows Security Center 
automatically sets up a Windows Firewall on your Tablet Client to block 
unwanted access to your system over the internet and from other networks. 
The Security Center system provides security alerts during startup and 
messages while running Internet Explorer. These messages are a normal 
part of the operating system. Microsoft provides information with these alerts 
to help you decide what action to take.
In addition, you can set up the firewall to block all outside sources from 
connecting to your system (recommended) or can make exceptions to allow 
communications with a certain program. Within these settings, you can 
change the scope to specify a set of computers for which this port or 
program is unblocked.

• Microsoft Security Center — Lets you check security 

settings and learn more about improving security. Access 

is via open Motion Dashboard > Motion Security 

Center.

• Windows Firewall — On by default; helps protect your 

Tablet Client against viruses and other security threats, 

such as intruders who might try access over the Internet 

or a network. Tap the Windows Firewall icon on the 

Control Panel (Classic view) or the Security Center > 

Windows Firewall icon (Category view). From here, you can add 

exceptions to bypass selected programs and services. If a program 

or service needs to open the firewall to perform, it notifies you and 

lets you decide whether to open the firewall and allow access.

• Internet Explorer — Provides security settings to warn you about 

viruses and other security threats that can spread over the Internet 

or other types of networks; blocks certain website features and gives 

you a warning, so you can decide whether it is safe to proceed. 

Access from Internet Explorer Tools > Internet Options > Security. 

You can always bypass the settings for sites of your choice by 

changing the options for that site.

Pop-up blocker in Internet Explorer
Stops most browser windows from popping up without your permission, 
giving you more control over your Web browsing experience. Access from 
Internet Explorer Tools > Internet Options > Security. You can always 
bypass the settings for sites of your choice by changing the options for that 
site.

Microsoft Security Center
The Windows XP Embedded SP2 operating system provides new security 
features that help defend against viruses, worms, and hackers. To learn 
more about these features, go to Motion Dashboard then Motion Security 
Center > Microsoft Security Center or tap the Windows Security Alerts 
icon in the system tray (this icon only remains active for a short time on your 
desktop).
