Software Installation Steps 

Step 

Action 

Comment(s) 

Copy the required LTM.INI 
file to the Device Storage “root” 
folder of the Tablet. 
 
The “root” refers to the folder 
that contains sub-folders such as 
Download, Playlists, Music, and 
so on. 
 

The LTM.INI file is the configuration file for the LAVA Tablet Manager 
application. The “board-type” parameter 

MUST

 be set correctly for the 

tablet being used. There are three sample copies of the file in the release 
package, each with a different setting for “board-type”. 

File 

Tablets 

board-type=1\LTM.INI 

Tab S2 9.7”, Tab E 8.0”, and Tab 4 10.1” 

board-type=2\LTM.INI 

Tab E 9.6”, Tab A 8.0”, and Tab A 9.7” 

board-type=3\LTM.INI 

Tab A 10.1” 

Do not keep the “board-type=n” folder name, 

only copy the INI file to the tablet root folder. 

    

Install LTM.APK. 

This application is “sideloaded” onto the tablet. This application appears 
in the tablet Application manager as “LAVA Tablet Manager VII”. This 
application has no displayable component. 

Install LBI.APK 

This application is “sideloaded” onto the tablet. This application appears 
in the tablet Application manager as “Battery Information”. 

Enable WiFi on the tablet. 

The next step requires a valid Internet connection over WiFi. 

Activate the “LAVA Tablet 
Manager VII” as a Device 
Administrator. 

Locate the “Device administrators” menu. On newer Tablets, the required 
menu is under the “Lock screen and security” + “Other security settings”. 
On older Tablets, the required menu is under “General” + “Security”. 
 
Enable “LAVA Tablet Manager VII” in the Device Administrator menu, 
and then select ACTIVATE. 
 
After selecting activate, the next menu presented is for accepting a 
Samsung KNOX license. If you previously installed a Mobile Device 
Management application, the KNOX license screen may not be presented, 
as it has already been agreed to. 
 
After the KNOX license activation, an Android Toast message reports 
success or failure. 
 
If the request fails, disable the application in "Device administrators" and 
try again in a few minutes.  Ensure you have a connection to the Internet 
over WiFi. 

Disable WiFi (optional) 

After completing the Samsung KNOX authentication, the WiFi connection 
can be turned off. There is no need to authenticate the LTM application 
again, even if installing an LTM update. 

Disable the tablet Auto Screen 
Brightness. 

The Auto Screen Brightness must be disabled in the tablet to permit LTM 
to manage the screen brightness. 

Verify the tablet time zone, date, 
and time are correct. 

Several LTM features require that the correct time is set on the tablet.  

End of the Software Installation 

 

Once the STS-RBM Product is working, you may customize the settings in INI file for your project. The 
“STS-RBM Reference Manual” contains a detailed description of the INI file. The file format is UTF-8 
(simple ASCII). Any simple text editor can be used to view and change an LTM.INI file. The tablets do not 
ship with a suitable editor for the INI file as a standard feature
