11 INI File-Based Management

The device can be configured through an ini file, which is a text-based file with an ini file
extension name that can be created using any standard text-based editor such as Notepad.
Each configuration element of the device has a corresponding ini file parameter that you can
use in the ini file for configuring the device. When you have created the ini file with your ini
file parameter settings, you apply these settings to the device by installing (loading) the ini
file to the device.

Notes:
For a list and description of the ini file parameters, see ''Configuration
Parameters Reference'' on page 735.
To restore the device to default settings through the ini file, see ''Restoring
Factory Defaults'' on page 647.

11.1 INI File Format

The ini file can be configured with any number of parameters. These ini file parameters can
be one of the following types:
Individual parameters - see ''Configuring Individual ini File Parameters'' on page 105
Table parameters - see ''Configuring Table ini File Parameters'' on page 105

11.1.1 Configuring Individual ini File Parameters

The syntax for configuring individual ini file parameters in the ini file is as follows:
An optional, subsection name (or group name) enclosed in square brackets "[...]". This
is used to conveniently group similar parameters by their functionality.
Parameter name, followed by an equal "=" sign and then its value.
Comments must be preceded by a semicolon ";".
[subsection name]
parameter name = value
parameter name = value
; this is a comment line
; for example:
[System Parameters]
SyslogServerIP = 10.13.2.69
EnableSyslog = 1
For general ini file formatting rules, see ''General ini File Formatting Rules'' on page 107.

11.1.2 Configuring Table ini File Parameters

The table ini file parameters allow you to configure tables, which include multiple parameters
(columns) and row entries (indices). When loading an ini file to the device, it's recommended
to include only tables that belong to applications that are to be configured (dynamic tables of
other applications are empty, but static tables are not).
The table ini file parameter is composed of the following elements:
Title of the table: The name of the table in square brackets, e.g.,
[MY_TABLE_NAME].
