Create CFG_KT.INI File
INTERCHANGE needs to know exactly what hardware you are
using, and how it is configured. This information is provided by a
configuration file (CFG_KT.INI) modified to match your own
installation.
1. Edit the file with any ASCII text editor. If you use the DOS text
editor, type:
EDIT C:\ABIC\BIN\CFG_KT.INI
↵
The
CFG.INI file that installs with INTERCHANGE includes
configurations for numerous cards. Lines preceded by a
semicolon (;) have been commented out. To activate your
interface card, edit and uncomment the appropriate options by
removing the semicolon at the beginning of the line.
If you are using a card other than the 1770-KF2 go to step 2
below. If you are using the 1770-KF2 communications interface
card, skip step 2 and go directly to step 3.
2. If you are using a card other than the 1770-KF2, the contents of
the CFG_KT.INI file should be similar to the format shown in the
sample file below. This sample is for a 1784-KT board:
[DTL_KT.Options]
①
PATH=C:\ABIC\BIN
②
③
[DTL_KT.1]
④
DEVICE=KT
⑤
MEMORY=C800
⑥
PROTOCOL=DHPLUS
⑦
IRQ=5
⑧
STATION=77
⑨
NAME=DTL_KT 1
⑩
In this file:
① This line identifies the file and prefaces a section of the file used to record
information common to all the communications interface cards on your system.
② PATH line that designates the directory where the INTERCHANGE server
programs are located. This will be the same value for all interface cards on your
system.
③ Blank line to separate sections and improve readability.
④ This line identifies the general class of hardware device (in this case a KT
device) and a logical pushwheel identifier of 1. Note: The DL40 Offline
Programming Software assumes that pushwheel 1 is used. Only use pushwheel
1 when communicating with the DL40 Offline Programming Software.
⑤ DEVICE line that specifies the exact communication interface card used.
Acceptable values include KT, KTX, KL, KT2, or PCMK.
⑥ MEMORY line that matches the dip switch settings on the interface card.
⑦ PROTOCOL line that identifies the protocol in use.
⑧ IRQ line that matches the dip switch settings on the interface card.
⑨ STATION line designates the octal station address on the communications link.
⑩ NAME is a unique string you define to specify to this configuration.
