This document explains how to locally install Xtreme plug-ins on a device with image 6.0 using an FTP Server.

Procedures

Before you begin:

• Make sure you have the Plug-in Pack files that correspond to your device hardware model and current firmware.
• The files can be downloaded from our website: http://www.chippc.com/
• The Plug-in files that are obtained from Chip PC should be extracted using Chip PC Installer.
• You MUST read How to use the Chip PC Installer to better understand how to extract the Firmware files to an FTP server using the Chip PC installer utility.

This manual and the Chip PC Installer can be downloaded from our download section on this website.

Make sure the plug-in packages are present on the FTP Server you wish to work with.

1. Go to Start -> Settings -> Device -> WBT Setup -> Plug-ins tab
   
   
   

Plug-ins general notes:

• After installing a plug-in it will appear in the Available Plug-ins list with an empty square.
• To activate the plug-in, left click the square ones. The plug-in is now active and can be worked with.
  An active Plug-in is marked with a V in the square.
• You may also Lock/Unlock plug-ins – this option applies when you perform software reset to factory default setting.
  Plug-ins selected and marked as Lock (Capital L in the square) will not be removed from the device even if the "Remove Plug-ins" option of the reset process is selected. In addition, to delete a plug in from the device you first have to unlock it.

Please refer to the Image 6 manual for more information.
