Configuring the Bridge

3.1.3

Files Generated or Modified by the Bridge

When the bridge is configured using the CFGUTIL program, it writes ASCII text

files that record the bridge’s current configuration and network mapping. The files

are retained in the bridge and referenced for configuration on subsequent startups.

Table 16 Files Generated or Modified by the Bridge

File

Purpose

RTE.CFG

Contains the bridge’s MB+ and TCP mapping

WATTCP.CFG

Contains the bridge’s IP setup and network parameters

RTE.OLD

Contains the RTE.CFG version prior to the last write

WATTCP.OLD

Contains the WATTCP.CFG version prior to the last write

These files can be uploaded and stored in a host. They can be downloaded to

restore a bridge’s configuration. Sections 5.2 and 5.3 describe these procedures.

Note that RTE.CFG must be renamed to RTE.TXT prior to downloading.

The Software Startup Sequence

On power--up the bridge software performs the following sequence.

H

CONFIG.SYS loads the Modbus Plus driver MBPHOST.SYS.

H

AUTOEXEC.BAT calls GATELOOP.BAT.

H

GATELOOP.BAT executes BDRESET.EXE, initializing the Modbus Plus card.

H

GATELOOP.BAT executes the Ethernet driver program PNPPD.COM.

H

GATELOOP.BAT executes the bridge application program SGATE.EXE.
