Settings in the "config.ini" file

Boot server
The active boot server (DHCP server) is detected and displayed in the System Network Center
(SNC). The boot server accesses this configuration file accordingly. Changes to the config.ini
file do not become effective until the relevant TCU or PCU is next booted.
Note
If too much time (> 15 min.) elapses between commands when the user is making entries (e.g.

error message will appear and the FTP connection will be reopened.
