The config.exe
file can be used with the
following options:
Table 8.1. Off-line configurator options
Option | Description |
---|---|
-? | It displays the program version and the program usage instruction. |
-cFile | It allows to specify the name of the configuration file. If
omitted, the assumed name is drivers.cfg . If
'-pPath' is specified too, the specified directory path is
used. |
-pPath | It allows to specify the directory path. |
-cc | It allows to create the configuration file only if it does not exist; otherwise the existing file is used. If '-cFile' is specified too, the specified file name is used. If '-pPath' is specified too, the specified directory path is used. |
-cu | It allows to create the configuration file unconditionally.
If drivers.cfg exists, it's deleted and a new
drivers.cfg file is created. If '-cFile' is
specified too, the specified file name is used. If '-pPath' is
specified too, the specified directory path is used. |
-iFile | It allows to specify an input file from which the program will get the commands. |
-oFile | It allows to specify an output file on which the program will copy the result of executed commands. |
Tip | |
---|---|
These options are available by executing the program from a MS-DOS shell. |
The configurator can execute scripts using the “-i” option. A script contains one command per line. For example:
d r a r pr:1 in:telnet out:telnet cdi:* udi:tln a r pr:2 in:* out:telnet cdi:* udi:tln d r quit y
The example shows how to have the config.exe
program to execute the previously listed commands, stored in the
BatchCom.txt
file:
C:\> config -iC:\BatchCom.txt
<enter>
Here it's the execution result:

Using the “-o” option, the off-line configurator redirects the standard output to a text file:
C:\> config -o C:\Output.txt<enter>
Suppose to enter the d ver command to the
off-line configurator command line interpreter after the previous line
execution. A copy of the program output will be saved in text format in
the specified file. Here it's the contents of
