Modifying the
AUTOEXEC.BAT
File
The lines shown in the following table must appear in the PA
PowerStation’s AUTOEXEC.BAT file for the unit to operate
properly. The AUTOEXEC.BAT file that CTC supplies includes these
lines and is located in the \CTC directory on the PowerStation’s
Compact Flash card in a file called AUTOEXEC.CTC.
Please make sure that the AUTOEXEC.BAT file on your PA
PowerStation’s CF card includes the command lines shown in the left-
hand column of AUTOEXEC.BAT File.
