Precedence Order of Parameter Settings
Any task, operator, or terminal hardware parameters can be set in the (task).vcf file, the
(operator).vcf file, or the configuration block (.cci) file. They can even be set in all three
places at the same time. Obviously, this can mean that a parameter could potentially have
two different settings in two different files.
If this occurs, the setting in the configuration block overrides anything in the task or
operator files. Similarly, the settings in the operator file override those in the task file.
Note: If parameters are changed in the configuration block, the new configuration file
that is created from this procedure will need to be loaded onto every terminal for the
parameter to take effect. If parameters are changed in the (task).vcf, the new
parameters will take effect when the task is loaded onto a terminal. If an
(operator).vcf is added to an operator 's files, the new parameters will take effect
when the operator's files are loaded onto a terminal.

Changing Configuration Block Parameters
Warning: Consult a Vocollect representative before attempting to change any
parameters. See Contact Information.
The terminal has a configuration block in its flash memory that contains configuration
parameters for radio and network communications, the Terminal Manager connection, and
the terminal itself. For a list of parameters, refer to the Configurable Parameters Table.
To change or set configuration block parameters, perform the following steps:
1. Click Start | Programs | Accessories | Notepad.
A blank Notepad file opens.
2. In Notepad, click File | Open.
3. Navigate to \program files\Vocollect\Talkman Software\firmware\config.vrg.
4. Click Open.
5. Edit the file.
Note: For questions about editing this file, contact a Vocollect representative.
Warning: Do not edit the config.cci file directly.
6. Click File | Exit.
7. Click Yes to save the changes to the config.vrg file.
8. Click Start | Programs | Windows Explorer.
9. Navigate to the \\program files\Vocollect\Talkman Software\firmware directory.
10. Double-click config.bat.
A new configuration file (config.cci) is automatically created and placed in the
folder.
11. Load this new configuration file onto the terminal.
