Chapter 3 Configuration
Overview
This chapter describes how to set up and configure the MK2200 applications, communications, and network
settings which include parameters such as the device name, internet browser settings, date and time, and
several other key settings.
Configure these settings remotely using the Symbol Remote Device Manager (RDM), or locally on the MK2200
using the System Menu. These settings are saved in the configuration registry file (mkconfig.reg) in the
MK2200 Application folder to maintain them across cold boot cycles.
Remote Configuration using Symbol Remote Device Manager
Use the Symbol Remote Device Manager (RDM) to configure parameters remotely. RDM is a
Windows
®
-based utility that runs on a host computer and generates/edits an MK2200 configuration file
(mkconfig.reg). Load this file onto the MK2200 and reboot the MK2200 to configure the device.
See Chapter 4, Remote Device Manager for more details.
Local Configuration
Using the System Menu
The System Menu function sets configuration parameters locally on the MK2200. The System Menu is similar
to the MK2200 Configuration Utility window of the RDM, except the virtual keyboard is used to enter
information. From within the System menu, use the
File > Save
option to save the changes and update the
configuration registry file (mkconfig.reg). The new settings are invoked upon the next cold boot. See System
Menu on page 3-5 .
