2.1 Configuration File
The MVI69-DNP module stores its configuration in a text file called DNP.CFG,
located in the module's flash memory. When the module starts up, it reads the
configuration file and uses the information to control how the DNP 3.0
Master/Slave protocol interacts with the module's application port(s).
The configuration file is arranged in Sections, with a heading in [ ] characters at
the beginning of each section. Each Section contains a list of Parameters and
Values, followed by an optional Comment that explains the parameter.
The following illustration shows an example of a Section, a Parameter, a Value,
and a Comment.
The Parameter must be followed by a [:] (colon) character. The text following the
[:] is a Value.
The module ignores "comment" text following the [#] character. Use comments to
document your configuration settings.
You can get a sample configuration file for the module in the following places:
ƒ Copy (page 34) the DNP.CFG from the module's flash memory to your PC
ƒ Copy the DNP.CFG from the ProSoft Solutions CD-ROM supplied with the
module
ƒ Download the DNP.CFG from the ProSoft Technology web site at
