Modifying an ini File

To modify the ini file:
Get the ini file from the gateway using the Embedded Web Server (see

Backing up the Gateway
Open the file (the file is open in Notepad or a Customer-defined text file editor) and
2
modify the ini file parameters according to your requirements; save and close the file.
Load the modified ini file to the gateway (using either BootP/TFTP utility or the

Embedded Web Server).
This method preserves the programming that already exists in the device, including special
default values that were preconfigured when the unit was manufactured.
Before loading the ini file to the gateway, verify that the extension of the ini file saved
on your PC is correct: Verify that the check box Hide file extension for known file
types (My computer>Tools>Folder Options>View) is unchecked. Then, confirm that
the ini file name extension is xxx.ini and NOT erroneously xxx.ini.ini or xxx~.ini.
