Setup and Installation
Editing a Configuration File
The configuration file, KMBDAS8.INI, can also be created or edited
using a plain ASCII text editor, such as Notepad editor that comes with
Windows. The layout and format of the configuration file is similar to the
initialization files created by Windows and other Windows applications.
See Appendix C.
All entries in the configuration file have the following form:
where “keyname” is the name of a field recognized by DriverLINX and
“string” is the value for that field. The case of the letters in keyname and
string is not significant.
A typical entry for logical device 0 in the configuration initialization file
follows:
The string values recognized for the Vendor and Model keynames are
defined in the DriverLINX API file, OEMCODES.H. Case is not
significant for matching a string value. The numeric values must all be
decimal or floating point.
