7.1 This chapter
This chapter deals with configuring the PCNC.INI file and setting up the
COM ports. PCNC's online help contains all the information about how
to set up this file. PCNC will run with the default PCNC.INI file, so once
you have copied the disks into the working directory, you can run PCNC
and use the Help command to find out how to set up PCNC to work with
your network. The information is the same as in this manual, but you
may find it more convenient in Help format.
Setting up the TCP/IP network for the optional SNMP link is dealt with in
detail by Chapter 5.
7.2 Introduction
The PCNC.INI file contains readable text that defines the configuration
of various elements of the PCNC program, such as which Auxiliary
Terminal emulator to use, or which COM port to use for the Control Link.
It does not contain information gathered by the program itself, like the
Alarm or Network Databases (this data is stored in the file PCNC.DAT).
PCNC.INI is stored with the other PCNC files in the working directory,
and is read by PCNC when you start the program. A default PCNC.INI
file is supplied on the distribution disks.
correspond to the system you wish to run, but the entries will be in the
correct format and can be used as templates.
