Objectives

 This document provides a step-by-step description of local Xtreme Plug-ins installation in image 6.5.x from a network share.

Procedures

This article assumes prior knowledge.

Please read these documents before you begin:

Download the required XPI's from our web site, use the Chip PC installer and copy the folder tree it creates to the network share root.

For example: this is the default tree for EX device plug-ins \5xxx\6.5.0\Plugins

Make sure the plug-in files are present on the network share you wish to work with.

• Go to Start -> Settings -> Device -> Plugins tab
• Click on New to access the Plug-ins Installation Wizard
• Select Use predefined Network Share and click Next
  
  
  
• Enter the directory name where the plug-ins are stored
  Note: An explanation on how to define the default network share path (Server Root) can be found in:
  How to Enable Access to Network Shares in image 6.5.x
• In the Advanced Path enter the name of the folder in which the plug-ins resides.
  Leave it blank if they are located in the shared directory root.
• Click Next to continue
  
  
  
• Click on the Browse button to view the list of available plug-ins.
  (the browse option can read the entire default tree structure described earlier)
  Note: You may be asked to provide user credentials to access the network share
• The option Show only uninstalled plug-ins is checked by default
  Uncheck it to view plug-ins that are already installed
• Select the plug-ins you wish to install (as demonstrated below)
• Note the Needed Space and Free Space parameters
  Make sure you have sufficient free space to install the plug-ins
• Click Next when ready
  
  
  
• Click on the Install button to begin the installation
  
  
  
• Click on the Finish button to complete the process
