A system to arm one device with another device on a freight train having a locomotive and a last car is provided. The system comprises an end of train (EOT) device disposed in the last car of the freight train and a head of train (HOT) device disposed in the locomotive of the freight train. The EOT device includes a soft button which is configured to be virtually pressed in response to an electronic command. The HOT device includes a button which is configured to be pressed by a user. A web-based service at a central server is configured to receive an initiate arming sequence command from a wireless communication device of the user and issue the electronic command to the EOT device to virtually press the soft button via a web user interface. The first radio is configured to transmit an arming request message to the HOT device for displaying on the display of the HOT device. The user is prompted to press the button of the HOT device to cause the HOT device to proceed with an arming process with the EOT device.
