4.8. Changing Computer Type
The Select Computer Type box appears only the first time you install the program. You
cannot change the computer type by re-installing; you must edit a text file. Close all
programs, including the BMDM, and open a text editor, such as Microsoft Notepad or
WordPad under Start|Programs|Accessories.
Open the file Config3.MPM under Program Files\Alber\MPM Manager. Using the text
editor, edit the number under the line labeled #2 Computer Type so the digit indicates the
computer type you want. Type 1 for Central, 2 for Local, or 3 for Service. For example, in the
following figure, the 2 under line #2 indicates a Local computer.
Figure 6. Config3.MPM File
Save the text file and close the editor. Run the BMDM program and confirm the title bar
indicates the correct computer type: Central, Local or Service. The Config3.MPM file shown
above is for illustration and not meant to be copied.
