Getting Started: Learning INI File Basics

In this chapter you can learn how to construct and use the supported INI les.

It includes the following details:

• Supported INI Files You can Construct.

• Rules and Recommendations for Constructing the INI Files.

• Placing the INI Files into the Folder Structure on the Server.

After you become familiar with the INI le basics, you can refer to the parameter details you need in the other chapters and appendixes of

this guide.

Topics:

• Supported INI Files you can construct

• Rules and Recommendations for Constructing the INI Files

• Placing the INI Files into the Folder Structure on the Server

Supported INI Files you can construct

The INI les contains the parameters, associated options, and values necessary for the various functionalities you want.

IMPORTANT

: The INI le processing hierarchy is as follows:

• Scenario 1 — MAC.ini exists. The MAC.ini le is processed and if the Include=WLX.ini statement is included, then the WLX.ini le is

processed.

• Scenario 2 — wlx.ini exists. The WLX.ini le is processed.

• Scenario 3— No ini les exist. Local conguration is applied.

Working with wlx.ini Files

A wlx.ini le contains the global parameters that aects all thin clients accessing the server. Parameters in Table Connection Settings

Parameter Options can be used in mac.ini and wlx.ini les.

Working with MAC.ini Files

A MAC.ini le can be used instead of a wlx.ini le for device-specic congurations. If the thin client locates a MAC.ini le that is stored in

the same directory as a wlx.ini le, then the wlx.ini le is not accessed, unless you use the include =wlx.ini parameter.

NOTE

: The placement of the include =wlx.ini parameter within the MAC.ini le will dictate which value will take the priority for a

same specic parameter that is contained in both the wlx.ini le and the MAC.ini le but is dened for dierent values for the

same parameter.

For example, if the wlx.ini le has parameter A= value B, and the MAC.ini le has the same parameter A= value C, then:

• If the include =wlx.ini parameter is included in the MAC.ini le before the parameter A= value C statement, then the wlx.ini parameter

A= value B is discarded and parameter A= value C from the MAC.ini le is the nal value used.
