Text Configuration
The text configuration provides another way for users to configure the 802.11 a/g Router. Users can
save the system current configuration onto a file on PC, edit the configuration file, and then restore the
system configuration with the configuration file. For details regarding the save and restore
configuration operations, please read the H
OW TO SAVE OR RESTORE CONFIGURATION CHANGES
section in the MANAGING YOUR 802.11A/G ROUTER
chapter. This chapter describes the syntax
and semantics of a text configuration file.
General guidelines
The format of a text configuration file is like the Microsoft Window® INI (extension file
name: .ini) file format. The basic file structure can be divided into the following parts:
1. Sections
A section name is enclosed in square brackets, alone on a line. Section names are allowed to
contain any character but square brackets or linefeeds. For example: “[sectionName]”.
Basically a section corresponds to a configuration item, a section contains zero or more key
and value pairs that are the settings for the configuration item. A section name is case
insensitive.
2. Keys and Values
A section contains zero or more key and value pairs, declared with the syntax “key = value”.
A key is a string without space and the value consists of all characters at the right hand side of
the equal sign. That is, a key starts with the first non-blank ASCII character at the right hand
side of an equal sign and extends to a comment mark (if there is one) or the end of the line.
So blanks are allowed among non-blank characters. A key string is case insensitive.
3. Comments
A comment starts with a semicolon or a hash sign and extends to the end of the line.
