You can configure your organization’s Microsoft RoundTable devices to receive automatic updates from Device Update Service in Office Communications Server 2007 R2 by taking the following steps:
-
Step 1: Install RTManage.If you have not already done so,
install the RTManage RoundTable management tool on the computer you
want to use to manage your RoundTable devices.
-
Step 2: Specify update and logging configuration settings.In
the DeviceConfig.xsn InfoPath form, specify update settings as well
as other settings for your RoundTable device, as appropriate. Save
the settings as an .xml configuration file. You can create
different settings for different devices, and save them in separate
.xml files.
Important: In the Server field of the configuration file, you mustchange Ucupdates to Ucupdates-r2 so that the configuration will work with Office Communications Server 2007 R2. Note: For details about configuring RoundTable devices, see your RoundTable device documentation. -
Step 3: Apply the settings to a RoundTable device.Upload the
.xml configuration file to your RoundTable device and restart the
device to apply the settings.
The following procedures explain how to perform these steps. Before you begin, ensure that you have a supported version of Microsoft Office InfoPath installed: Office InfoPath 2003 or Office InfoPath 2007.
Step 1: Install RTManage
-
Log on as Administrator to the computer that you want to use to manage your RoundTable devices. For the purpose of this topic, this computer will be called the RoundTable management computer. This computer must be running either the Microsoft Windows XP or the Microsoft Vista operating system in order for RTManage to function.
-
In the Microsoft Download Center at
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads , locate the download page for RTManage by searching on “RoundTable management tool.” -
Follow the instructions to install the tool.
During installation, the following files are installed in the %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft RoundTable\Device Management\ folder by default:
-
Rtmanage.exe.The Microsoft RoundTable device configuration
tool. The current version of this tool is in English only.
-
DeviceConfig.xsn.The Office InfoPath template for Microsoft
RoundTable configuration.
-
DefaultConfig.xml.An example XML file for configuring the
device.
Step 2: Specify update configuration settings
-
If necessary, log on as Administrator to the RoundTable management computer.
-
In the %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft RoundTable\DeviceManagement\ folder, double-click DeviceConfig.xsn to start the InfoPath configuration form.
-
In the form, configure other settings as appropriate, and then scroll down to the Software Updatetable.
-
Specify the update settings you want to use for your RoundTable devices, as described in the following table.

Exclude configuration file from automatic update
To exclude the RoundTable configuration file from being updated automatically, select the check box.
Important:If you do not select the check box to exclude the configuration file from updates, it will be overwritten by a file containing the default settings. The default settings will not work with Office Communications Server 2007 R2 because they specify the server as Ucupdates rather than Ucupdates-r2.

Connect the Universal Serial Bus (USB) cable of the RoundTable device that you want to configure to a USB 2.0 port on the computer.
-
Open the command prompt, and change the folder to %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft RoundTable\DeviceManagement\.
-
Synchronize the RoundTable device time with the RoundTable management computer time by running the following command:
Rtmanage.exe -m:cfg –t:now -
Upload the configuration file to the RoundTable device by running the following command:
Rtmanage.exe –m:img –i:config –f <path to the configuration file> Example:
Rtmanage.exe -m:img -i:config -f:RTConfig.xml -
Check the configuration for XML parsing errors by running the following command:
