User's Manual 11. INI File-Based Management
11 INI File-Based Management
You can configure the device through an ini file, which is a text-based file with an *.ini file
extension name, created using any standard text-based editor such as Notepad. Once you
have created an ini file with all your configuration settings, you need to install (load) it to the
device to apply the configuration. For a list of the
ini file parameters, see Configuration
Parameters Reference on page 983.
11.1 INI File Format
There are two types of ini file parameters:

Individual parameters - see Configuring Individual ini File Parameters on page 107

Table parameters - see Configuring Table ini File Parameters on page 107
11.1.1 Configuring Individual ini File Parameters
The syntax for configuring individual ini file parameters in the ini file is as follows:

An optional, subsection name (or group name) enclosed in square brackets "[...]". This
is used to conveniently group similar parameters by their functionality.

Parameter name, followed by an equal "=" sign and then its value.

Comments must be preceded by a semicolon ";".
[optional subsection name]
parameter name = value
parameter name = value
; this is a comment line
; for example:
[System Parameters]
SyslogServerIP = 10.13.2.69
EnableSyslog = 1
For general ini file formatting rules, see General ini File Formatting Rules on page 109.
11.1.2 Configuring Table ini File Parameters
Table ini file parameters allow you to configure tables, which include multiple parameters
(
columns ) and row entries ( indices ). The table ini file parameter is composed of the
following elements:

Table title: The name of the table in square brackets, e.g., [MY_TABLE_NAME].

Format line: Specifies the columns of the table (by their string names) that are to be
configured.
•
The first word of the Format line must be "FORMAT", followed by the Index field
name and then an equal "=" sign. After the equal sign, the names of the columns
are listed.
•
Columns must be separated by a comma ",".
•
The Format line must only include columns that can be modified (i.e., parameters
that are not specified as read-only). An exception is Index fields, which are
mandatory.
•
The Format line must end with a semicolon ";".

Data line(s): Contain the actual values of the columns (parameters). The values are
interpreted according to the Format line.
