Configuring the RoundTable Device

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.

This topic describes how to apply new settings to a RoundTable device.

Before you start, make sure that you have a supported version of Office InfoPath installed, either Office InfoPath 2003 or Office InfoPath 2007.

  1. In the %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft RoundTable\DeviceManagement\ directory, double-click DeviceConfig.xsn to open the InfoPath form. The following figure shows a section of this form.

    7d10813f-72f3-4c90-b50a-25f89a5c976a

  2. After you change the settings to suit your particular installation, save the configuration (as RTConfig.xml, for example) to the same directory as RTManage.exe. The section following this procedure provides details of the InfoPath configuration form.

  3. Open a command prompt, change the directory to the %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft RoundTable\DeviceManagement\ directory, and type the following command line.

    Rtmanage.exe -m:img -i:config -f:RTConfig.xml
    
  4. Check for any XML parsing errors by running this command.

    Rtmanage.exe -m:cfg -q:cfgparseresult
    
  5. If there are no errors, go to the next step. Otherwise fix the errors and repeat from step 3.

  6. Restart the device by running this command line.

    Rtmanage.exe -m:cfg -r
    

The following tables provide details about the configuration changes that you can make in the InfoPath configuration user interface.
