	Chapter 9. Console configurator

The config.exe file can be used with the following options:

Table 9.1. 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.

9.3.1. Example of an off-line input file

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:

 - CONFIG (Off-line configurator for Abilis CPX) - v. 2091    - 24/09/2015 -
 - Abilis CPX - Ver. 8.5.1 - Build 4238.7 - Branch 8.5 -
 - (c) 1994/2017 - Abilis -

Press ALT-F9 to cycle between 90x25, 90x43, 90x50 screen modes.

9.3.2. Example of an off-line output file

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 Output.txt file:

 - CONFIG (Off-line configurator for Abilis CPX) - v. 2085    - 19/02/2015 -
