6. Advanced configuration
Import and Export of configuration data
To be able to remotely check configuration parameters and state of the T F A the complete data available
RANS ORM
in DEX can be saved to files. These files can be sent e.g. to the customer service to examine the system. DEX is
also used to view such saved files. For that purpose DEX can not only be run from a T F A, but can also be
RANS ORM
installed on any Windows 2000 or Windows XP computer.
To save data to a file, select first the desired view of the DEX (component view or logical view); then choose File
from the menu and Save As ... . To store all available information both views must be saved one after the other.
Figure 6-11
Save As and Open dialog of DEX
To load a saved configuration, choose Open from the menu and select the respective file.
When a file is displayed in DEX, then behind the top level entry of the tree, which contains the view type, the file
name is written in brackets. It is not possible to switch between different views. Instead the file containing the
desired view has to be opened.
To exit the file displaying mode of the DEX, select New from the File menu. This requests again the current val-
ues from the system and displays them.
Remote usage of DEX
To view DEX-files in locations where no T F A is available, the DEX can also be used as a stand alone appli-
RANS ORM
cation on any other Windows 2000 or Windows XP computer.
Therefore insert the CD TransForm A Suite CRS-3045-C into the CD-ROM drive of that computer and browse to
the i386 directory of the current graphics driver, e.g.
<CDR-drive>:\Windows Driver Suite (OVS-2686)\Windows Driver Suite X.X\i386
By a double click on the file DEX.exe, which is stored in this directory, you can start the DEX.
If you want to have the DEX always available on that computer you can also copy the files DEX.exe,
MonLib.dll and FSCBMCAPI.dll to the hard disk of that computer. Make sure that they are located in the
same directory. Then DEX can also be started by a double click on that local copy.
