7 Configuration
The Messenger is a highly configurable platform with several methods in place to allow
a user to read and/or modify the whole configuration or any part of. All configuration
parameters are stored in non-volatile memory.
Configuration parameters can be changed using the following methods:
• User modify via debug menu, using direct RS232 serial connection
•
Transfer configuration file, using “X-modem 1k” over direct RS232
•
Transfer configuration file via FTP, initiated via debug menu
All configuration parameters are read/written using text strings with commas to
separate values in the string. This basic format is the same for all methods listed above.
Some of the methods put a “wrapper” around the configuration line to aid in transport
and decoding on the receive end.
The basic configuration line format (referenced as CL) is described below:
CL= x,<i,>y,zzzz,y,zzzz,y,zzzz,…,y,zzzz
Where:
• the commas are required as the delimiter between value fields
•
x
is a unique number identifying the configuration line type (e.g. Site=1,
Serial=6, Channel=9, etc)
•
<i,>
is an optional index used with specific configuration line types that have
more than 1 element (e.g. there is more than 1 Serial Port and more than 1
Channel)
•
y
is a parameter code identifying the configuration parameter that follows
•
zzzz
is the configuration parameter (this parameter could be an integer, a
floating point number, or a text string as defined by the parameter code
y
)
