Applications
Applications are special add-ons that extend the functionality of RUGGEDCOM ROX II, such as enhanced support
for other RUGGEDCOM products (e.g. RUGGEDCOM CROSSBOW). They are installed and upgraded the same
as the RUGGEDCOM 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 RUGGEDCOM 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 Section4.12.2, “Setting Up an Upgrade Server”.
