Using RTManage.exe

Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 and Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 will reach end of support on January 9, 2018. To stay supported, you will need to upgrade. For more information, see Resources to help you upgrade your Office 2007 servers and clients.

 

RTManage.exe is typically used with a switch that specifies one of three modes: image mode, diagnostic mode, and configuration mode. The three tables describe the mode commands and show the syntax for each. Image mode commands are used to update the firmware images of the RoundTable device's operating system or boot loader, or to download a new configuration. Diagnostic mode commands are used to send diagnostic logs to the image update server. Configuration mode commands are used for several purposes, including resetting the password, setting the device time, and uploading a device configuration to the image update server.

All except two operations prompt the user for the RoundTable password. The operations that do not require a password are listed here.

Rtmanage.exe -help
Rtmanage.exe -m:diag -l:flush

For clarity, the following three tables show only the switches used with RTManage.exe. A complete command must include Rtmanage or Rtmanage.exe with the applicable switch, as in the following example.

Rtmanage <switch>
Rtmanage.exe <switch>

Image mode commands

Switch	Description
-m:img -help	Shows usage and flags of the image mode.
-m:img -i:nk -f:<file path to nk.bin> -s:<file path to nk.cat>	Performs a USB image update of Nk.bin, the operating system of the RoundTable device.
-m:img -i:EBOOT -f:<file path to CPUEBOOT.bin> -s:<file path to CPUEBOOT.cat>	Performs a USB image update of Cpueboot.bin, the boot loader of the RoundTable device.
-m:img -i:config -f:<file path to rtconfig.xml>	Downloads a new configuration file to the RoundTable device. The device must be restarted before the new configuration takes effect.

After you perform any of the image mode commands, you must restart the RoundTable device. You can do this by using the Rtmanage boot command as shown in the following command.

Rtmanage.exe m:cfg -r

Diagnostic mode commands

Switch	Description
-m:diag -help	Shows usage and flags of the diagnostic mode.
-m:diag -l:flush	Flushes diagnostics to the image update server. The exact location will be referenced in future documentation for the Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Device Update Service. You will not be prompted for a password for this operation.

Configuration mode commands

Switch	Description
-m:cfg -help	Shows usage and flags of the configuration mode.
-m:cfg -t:now	Sets the time of the RoundTable device with the time on the computer.
-m:cfg -r	Restarts the device.
-m:cfg -p	Sets the password for the device. The factory-set default password is 78491.
-m:cfg -q:cfgparseresult	Queries the parser result after a new configuration is downloaded to the device.
-m:cfg -f:rtconfig.xml	Uploads the RoundTable device configuration file to a server share on the Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Device Update Service.
