3.1 Configuration File
The MVI94-DNP module stores its configuration in a text file called Master.Cfg or
Slave.Cfg, located in the module's flash memory. When the module starts up, it
reads the configuration file and uses the information to control how the
Distributed Network Protocol protocol interacts with the module's application
port(s).
The configuration file is arranged in Sections, with a heading in
[ ] characters at
the beginning of each section. Each Section contains a list of Parameters and
Values, followed by an optional Comment that explains the parameter.
The following illustration shows an example of a Section, a Parameter, a Value,
and a Comment.
The Parameter must be followed by a [:] (colon) character. The text following the
[:]
is a Value.
The module ignores "comment" text following the [#] character. Use comments to
document your configuration settings.
You can get a sample configuration file for the module in the following places:

Copy the Master.Cfg or Slave.Cfg from the module's flash memory to your
PC

Copy the Master.Cfg or Slave.Cfg from the ProSoft Solutions CD-ROM
supplied with the module

Download the Master.Cfg or Slave.Cfg from the ProSoft Technology web site
