Figure 19. Updating the RMK’s interfaces file

When a USB drive is inserted into the RMK, 
the RMK looks for a folder with the RMK serial 
number. If one does not exist, one is created. 
The folder will be populated with log data and a 
few other files (see Figure 17). If the USB already 
contains the serial number folder, the files in this 
folder will be updated.

1.  Plug the USB drive into any of the four (4) 

USB ports; they are all equal.  The 

green

 LED 

(circled in orange) on the lower right corner 
of the RMK will turn off temporarily. 

2.  The LED will turn to 

orange

 while the RMK 

reads the interfaces file and writes any 
system data that have been logged by the 
RMK to the USB drive. This process may 
take several minutes. 

3.  When the process is finished, the LED will 

return to 

green

.  

 
 
 
 

4.  With the USB drive in the RMK and the LED 

green

, remove the NEGATIVE lead from the 

5A 24VDC post. 

5.  Reconnect the lead. The LED will turn 

red

Wait for the LED to turn 

green

. This may take 

several minutes. 

6.  Remove the USB drive. 

Updating the Interfaces File in the RMK

For the interface file changes to take effect, the 
RMK must be rebooted. This is accomplished 
by cycling the power.

The RMK is now accessible to a network at the 
reprogrammed IP address. Enter the new IP 
address into a web browser to access the interface.

Waiting for 
changes to 
take effect 
in the RMK

Note: 

The log files are extracted from the RMK onto 

the USB storage device during this process. If the 
data log files are large and numerous (Figure 8 lower 
left), this process may take a long time (up to and 
over an hour). The long wait can appear like the 
RMK is frozen. Be paitient. Do not dismount the USB 
storage device before sufficient time has been given 
for the transfer.
