2.1 Configuration File
The MVI56-103M module stores its configuration in a text file called
IEC103M.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 103
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:
 Copy the IEC103M.CFG from the module's flash memory to your PC
 Copy the IEC103M.CFG from the ProSoft Solutions CD-ROM supplied with
the module
 Download the IEC103M.CFG from the ProSoft Technology web site at
