Parameter Auto-Detect Utility (PARAM35.EXE)
The Parameter Auto-Detect Utility (PARAM35.EXE) is used to search for user-configurable
parameter files and then write the data to a text file. The utility is a DOS stand-alone program -- it
does not require that other files (except standard DOS operating system files) be present in the
MX1 before it will run.
The utility captures data from the following files:
AUTOEXEC.BAT DOS command file. See Chapter 4, “System Configuration”.
CONFIG.SYS DOS command file. See Chapter 4, “System Configuration”.
LXE.INI file LXE terminal emulation parameter file.
PROTOCOL.INI file Radio command file. See Chapter 4, “System Configuration”.
PCTCP.INI file Radio command file. See Chapter 4, “System Configuration”.
BIOS Setup The MX1 setup parameters. See Chapter 4, “System Configuration”.
and places the data in an ASCII text file called PARAM.DAT.
The text file should then be printed out or copied to a PC or floppy disk and stored for
safekeeping. The information in the text file may be used, as a reference, to reconstruct parameter
values if the files become unreadable or to program several MX1’s with the same values.
The Parameter Auto-Detect Utility filename is PARAM35.EXE and it creates a text file called
PARAM.DAT. The PARAM.DAT file may be renamed and the next time PARAM35.EXE is run,
a new PARAM.DAT file will be created. The combined file size is approximately 50K and both
files may be deleted from the MX1 if more disk space is needed in the unit.
Run Parameter Auto-Detect Utility
The file must be run from the DOS command line.
Using DOS commands, change the DOS prompt to the drive letter and subdirectory of the DOS
files (for example, C:>\DOS).
At the DOS prompt type the following command to run the utility:
PARAM35 and press Enter.
The PARAM.DAT file is created and stored in the DOS subdirectory on the MX1.
Use DOS commands to copy the PARAM.DAT file to another media or print the file.
