System Configuration Files
Overview
This section describes the config.cds, oparam.cds, options.cus, and trunks.cus
files. These files contain information about your system that is used by the microprocessor
and its software to control your paging terminal. While these files are created at the
factory to suit your particular needs, they are described in this section in the event you
wish to change the configuration of your system. To determine just what aspects of paging
terminal operation these files control read the entire section and examine a copy of your
oparam.cds, options.cus, or trunks.cus file using a text editor, such as Notepad.
The following procedure is provided as an example of how one of the configuration files is
obtained from the paging terminal, modified, and then returned to the paging terminal.
(The
oparam.cds file is used in this example.)
♦ Editing a system configuration file
1. Obtain the file from the Terminal by choosing ZlinkW from the ZbaseW
Communications menu. Type the following command at the “+” prompt:
+ get oparam.cds
2. Press ESC to exit ZlinkW. Then exit ZbaseW.
3. Use your own text editor on your office computer to edit the file. Make sure your
editor can edit and save plain ASCII files. Word processors may add control
Caution! Change system configuration files, especially config.cds
or oparam.cds, at your own risk! You can easily cripple
paging operation if you do something wrong. If you want to
change something, please let us assist you.
Note Always save a copy of the configuration files that you get from the
Paging Terminal. Then you may be able to restore your system to
its prior condition if everything “goes crazy” after you reboot.
