SFVRA-CFG database (which uses either MS SQL Server or MS Access) and the SFVRA-CFG
application (which runs on a Windows 95 or Windows NT device).
The SFVRA-CFG application is the interface to the database. Using this application, you can
generate each system's configuration files separately, with the system's view of the network, then
transfer the configuration files electronically to the system.
This section provides you with instructions for installing and starting up SFVRA-CFG.
Note: The primary configuration utility included for configuring your module is the SFVRA
Configuration Manager (SFVRA-CFG). This GUI configuration utility will be sufficient for
most configurations, however, if you will be setting up a complex configuration, you may
need to use CFGEDIT, a more comprehensive configuration utility. Once you use
CFGEDIT to make configuration changes you will no longer be able to use SFVRA-CFG.
For information regarding CFGEDIT documentation, refer to the
section included in this guide.
