Chapter 4 Remote Device Manager
Overview
The Symbol Remote Device Manager (RDM) v 2.4.X is a simple, menu-based Windows
®
utility for streamlining
large and small site deployments. This utility allows a user to remotely stage (discover and configure) and
monitor networked MK2200s.
The RDM functionality falls into five categories:
•
Generating a device configuration file
•
Performing discovery (detection) of devices on a network
•
Enabling automated staging/configuring/provisioning of networked devices
•
Remote monitoring
•
Remotely initiating device functionality.
Generating Configuration Files
Use the
Create Local Configuration File
feature of RDM to create an MK2200 configuration file (
mkconfig.reg
).
When loaded onto the device, this file customizes the MK2200 communication settings, application settings,
date and time setup, and much more.
After generating the mkconfig.reg file, load it into the MK2200
Application
folder (
Desktop/My
Computer/Application
) and reboot the device. The MK2200 reads the mkconfig.reg file upon power-up and
configures its parameters according to the settings defined in the mkconfig.reg file. If the MK2200 loses power,
the parameters set within the configuration file persist and are re-established at the next power up.
See Creating a Configuration File on page 4-12 for more information.
