DNP3-IPS uses a configuration file named DNP3.INI. This file must reside in the default (working) folder,
where the DNP3-IPS.EXE is saved.
DNP3-IPS uses a configuration file named DNP3.INI. This file must reside in the default (working) folder, where the DNP3-IPS.EXE is saved.
DNP3.INI is a text file, that you may create and edit using Notepad. You may also access it via a menu shortcut on the DNP3-IPS menu bar (under File).
DNP3.INI is divided into sections. Each section starts with the name of the section between square brackets.
The following sections are defined:
Within each section, you define parameters using a 'key' followed by the "=" sign and followed by one or more alpha-numeric arguments.
Parameters within the section may be arranged in any order.
Multiple arguments must be separated by spaces, a dot, or a comma.
A comment line starts with "/".
The following keys are defined:
