A6 Configuration Files - Panasonic KX-TDA0480 Installation Manual

A6 Configuration Files

The KX-TDA0480 OFDD.VHO configuration files are stored as plain text files and can be
edited directly using a plain text editor on any computer device. For experienced planning and
installation personnel, this method can be fast and efficient. Once files have been created, they
can be uploaded directly to the KX-TDA0480 using the FTP method discussed in Appendix
A7.
Once an OFDD.VHO file has been manually modified, the MCS unit registration information
will be no longer be synchronised. Therefore, it is recommended that the modified
OFDD.VHO file not be reopened directly using the MCS. If it is necessary to establish
conformance with the MCS, establish a LAN link with the unit. Next create a new unit using
the MCS Setup Wizard (Section 4.7 Create New Units), using the IP addressing information
for the unit. Finally, select the download option when configuring the unit (Section 4.7 Create
New Units) and download the configuration data directly from the unit. The manually created
settings will then appear in the MCS configuration folders.
Also, when working directly with configuration files it is very important to observe and comply
with the directory structure used by the Maintenance Console Software. Any change to this
structure will cause the MCS to fail.
The OFDD.VHO files for each group are located in the unit sub-directories for each group.
The Group directories are Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco.. Within each
group are the Unit directories using the Unit Names (e.g., NY01, NY02, etc.) Note the location
of the _tone_current file and Tone sub-directory.
Note the two OFDD files, OFDD.VHO and OFDD.OLD. The file with the .VHO extension
is the current version.
