3 Configuring the Gateway
3.1 Using ProSoft Configuration Builder
ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) provides a quick and easy way to manage
module configuration files customized to meet your application needs. PCB is not
only a powerful solution for new configuration files, but also allows you to import
information from previously installed (known working) configurations to new
projects.
3.1.1 Setting Up the Project
To begin, start ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB). If you have used other
Windows configuration tools before, you will find the screen layout familiar.
ProSoft Configuration Builder’s (PCB's) window consists of a tree view on the
left, an information pane, and a configuration pane on the right side of the
window. When you first start PCB, the tree view consists of folders for Default
Project and Default Location, with a Default Module in the Default Location
folder. The following illustration shows the PCB window with a new project.
To add the module to the project
1 Use the mouse to select D EFAULT M ODULE in the tree view, and then click the
right mouse button to open a shortcut menu.
