General ini File Formatting Rules

The ini file must adhere to the following formatting rules:

The ini file name must not include hyphens "-" or spaces; if necessary, use an
underscore "_" instead.

Lines beginning with a semi-colon ";" are ignored. These can be used for adding
remarks in the ini file.

A carriage return (i.e., Enter) must be done at the end of each line.

The number of spaces before and after the equals sign "=" is irrelevant.

Subsection names for grouping parameters are optional.

If there is a syntax error in the parameter name, the value is ignored.

Syntax errors in the parameter's value can cause unexpected errors (parameters may
be set to the incorrect values).

Parameter string values that denote file names (e.g., CallProgressTonesFileName)
must be enclosed with inverted commas, e.g., CallProgressTonesFileName =
'cpt_usa.dat'.

The parameter name is not case-sensitive.

The parameter value is not case-sensitive, except for coder names.

The ini file must end with at least one carriage return.

Configuring an ini File

There are different methods that you can use for configuring the ini file before you load it to
the device.

Modifying the device's current ini file. This method is recommended if you mainly need
to change the settings of parameters that you have previously configured.
1. Save the device's current configuration as an ini file on your computer, using the
Web interface (see ''Saving Configuration'' on page 542).
2. Open the file using a text file editor, and then modify the ini file as required.
3. Save and close the file.
4. Load the file to the device.

Creating a new ini file that includes only updated configuration:
1. Open a text file editor such as Notepad.
2. Add only the required parameters and their settings.
3. Save the file with the ini file extension name (e.g., myconfiguration.ini).
4. Load the file to the device.
For loading the ini file to the device, see ''Loading an ini File to the Device'' on page 86.
