Sys.ini
.
The configuration file will be saved to the ABC-02-
USB’s “Moxa” folder
as two independent files named
Sys.ini
and
MAC.ini
. The purpose of saving to two files is to identify the file while using

MAC address, without spaces.

.
This function is enabled by default.
First, power off your PRP/HSR RedBox and then plug in the ABC-02. Next, power on your PRP/HSR RedBox.
The system will detect the configuration file on the ABC-02 automatically. The PRP/HSR RedBox will
recognize file names using the following sequencing priority:
First priority: MAC.ini
Second priority: Sys.ini
If a matching configuration file is not found, the fault LED light will turn on and the PRP/HSR RedBox will
boot up normally.
