Section 3.13
Managing Feature Keys
ROX II can be enhanced with additional features at any time by adding feature levels. Feature levels are encoded
in feature keys that can be loaded on a device. At the time of ordering, a device feature key is encoded into
the electronic signature of the device. This feature key is independent of the compact flash card or USB Mass
Storage drive, and is retained by the device itself should the card be replaced. Additional file-based feature keys
can be added as needed. File-based feature keys are stored on the compact flash card or a USB Mass Storage
drive, and can be moved from device to device.
NOTE
Some ROX II features are only available through the purchase of feature levels. For more information
about the available feature levels, refer to the product datasheet for the device available at
www.siemens.com/ruggedcom or contact a Siemens Sales representative.
NOTE
File-based feature keys can be used on different devices. To tie a feature key to a specific device,
contact a Siemens Canada Ltd. Sales representative to arrange for a RMA (Return to Manufacturer
Authorization) to program the feature key into the device.
When ordering feature levels, make sure to provide the main serial number for the device. An upgraded feature
key file will be provided that is licensed to the device. For information on how to determine the main serial
number, refer to Section 3.1, “Determining the Product Version”.
When installing a new feature key, ROX II evaluates the new file-based feature key and the device feature key
and enables the most capable feature level described by the keys. For information on how to install new feature
keys, refer to Section 3.14.1, “Installing Files”.
For information on how to backup a feature key, refer to Section 3.14.2, “Backing Up Files”.
To view the contents of a feature key, refer to the ROX II v2.6 CLI User Guide for the RX1500/RX1501/RX1510/
RX1511/RX1512.
