Managing ROX II Applications

ROX II applications are special add-ons that extend the functionality of ROX, such as enhanced support for other
ROX products (e.g. CrossBow, eLAN, etc.). They are installed and upgraded the same as the ROX II operating
system, in that they are first installed on the inactive partition and are only activated after a reboot. This makes
it possible to decline or undo the installation if the application creates undesirable results. The currently active
partition is also unaffected when an application is being installed or upgraded.
All ROX II applications are released as repositories and must be hosted by an upgrade server. For more
information about setting up an upgrade server, refer to
The following sections describe how to manage ROX applications on the device:
• Section 3.12.1, "Viewing a List of Installed Applications"
• Section 3.12.2, "Installing an Application"
• Section 3.12.3, "Upgrading an Application"
