Chapter 4 Remote Device Manager

Introduction

The Symbol Remote Device Manager (RDM) 2.5 is a simple, menu-based Windows
and small site deployments. This utility allows a user to remotely stage (discover and configure) and monitor
networked MK1200s.
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 MK1200 configuration file (mkconfig.reg).
When loaded onto the device, this file customizes the MK1200 communication settings, application settings, date
and time setup, and much more.
After generating the mkconfig.reg file, load it into the MK1200 Application folder (
) and reboot the device. The MK1200 reads the mkconfig.reg file upon power-up and configures its
Application
parameters according to the settings defined in the mkconfig.reg file. If the MK1200 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 4-11 for more information.
