INI File-Based Management

You can configure the device through an ini file, which is a text-based file with an *.ini file extension
name, created using any standard text-based editor such as Notepad. Once you have created an ini
file with all your configuration settings, you need to install (load) it to the device to apply the
configuration. For a list of the ini file parameters, see

INI File Format

There are two types of ini file parameters:
■ Individual parameters - see
■ Table parameters - see

Configuring Individual ini File Parameters

The syntax for configuring individual ini file parameters in the ini file is as follows:
■ An optional, subsection name (or group name) enclosed in square brackets "[...]". This is used
to conveniently group similar parameters by their functionality.
■ Parameter name, followed by an equal "=" sign and then its value.
■ Comments must be preceded by a semicolon ";".
[optional subsection name]
parameter name = value
parameter name = value
; this is a comment line
; for example:
[System Parameters]
SyslogServerIP = 10.13.2.69
EnableSyslog = 1
For general ini file formatting rules, see

Configuring Table ini File Parameters

Table ini file parameters allow you to configure tables, which include multiple parameters (columns)
and row entries (indices). The table ini file parameter is composed of the following elements:
■ Table title: The name of the table in square brackets, e.g., [MY_TABLE_NAME].
■ Format line: Specifies the columns of the table (by their string names) that are to be
configured.
● The first word of the Format line must be "FORMAT", followed by the Index field name and
then an equal "=" sign. After the equal sign, the names of the columns are listed.
● Columns must be separated by a comma ",".
● The Format line must only include columns that can be modified (i.e., parameters that are
not specified as read-only). An exception is Index fields, which are mandatory.
● The Format line must end with a semicolon ";".
■ Data line(s): Contain the actual values of the columns (parameters). The values are
interpreted according to the Format line.
● The first word of the Data line must be the table's string name followed by the Index field.
● Columns must be separated by a comma ",".
