Saving the I/O Server's Configuration File

If a configuration file does not currently exist in the configuration file directory, the
server will automatically display the Save Configuration dialog box:

Save Configuration

This field displays the drive\directory into which the server will save the current
configuration file. To save the configuration file to a different directory, enter the path
for that directory in this field.
This option is selected and disabled on initial entry to the Save Configuration dialog
box. This field becomes active if the Configuration File Directory is changed. Once
enabled, selecting this option will record a new Configuration File path in the WIN.INI
file. This option allows the server to find its configuration file automatically each time
it is started.
Note When the server initially starts up, it attempts to locate its default configuration
file by first checking the WIN.INI file for a previously specified path. If a path is not
present in the WIN.INI file, the server will assume that the current working directory is
to be used.
Click Defaults to reset the settings to their default values without saving changes.
Click OK to save the configuration file to the specified directory.

Saving Multiple Configuration Files

There is no limit to the number of configuration files that you can create as long as they
are saved in separate directories. However, all cfg files must have the name
S3964R.CFG. This allows you to have multiple configuration files that can be accessed
by using a special switch (/d:). For example, to start the server using a configuration
file located in a different directory, click the Start button on the Taskbar, then choose
Run and enter the following in the Open combo box:
S3964R /d:c:\directoryname
