3.1.1 Editing the Configuration File

The DNPSNET_Q.CFG file consists of the following sections:
 [Module]
 [Backplane Configuration]
 [DNP ENET Slave]
 [DNP ENET IP Addresses]
 [DNP Slave Binary Inputs]
 [DNP Slave Analog Inputs]
 [DNP Slave Float Inputs]
 Important notes to consider when editing the sample configuration file:
 Comments within the file are preceded by the pound (#) sign. Any text on a

line that occurs after the # character will be ignored.

 Do not use tabs or other non-printing characters instead of spaces to

separate parameters (spacebar).

 Parameter names must begin in the first column of a line, and may not be

preceded with a space (spacebar) or other non-printing character.

The Master.Cfg or Slave.Cfg file is a plain ASCII text file. Use a text editor such

as Notepad.exe (included with Microsoft Windows) to open and edit the file.
