6.11 Configuration File Reference
This section defines the format and contents of the configuration file.
The configuration file is an ASCII text file that can be created with any text editor.
Whilst it is expected to be normal practice that a configuration file will be prepared in
advance of an installation job, BTS Installer can carry out most of its functions without
a configuration file, and can write out the contents of the BTS Database to a new
configuration file (so you can use BTS Installer to create configuration files instead of a
text editor).
6.11.1 File format
Comments start with ';' or '*'. You can't use these characters at all in parameter names
or values - there is no escape mechanism. Spaces and case are not significant (apart
from inside string values - whether string values themselves are case sensitive
depends on what they're used for). Blank lines are ignored.
The format is a bit, but not quite, like .ini file format. Sections are introduced by a
heading in square brackets; data items mostly consist of a name, an equals sign and a
value.
A section called [Defaults] may be present and specifies default values for BTS
configuration parameters; all BTSs will use these values unless otherwise specified.
To specify the parameters for a particular BTS use the section heading:
[BTS:<location>]
where <location> is the Location string as to be stored in the NVRAM, for example:
[ BTS : Room G47 ] ; where this BTS lives
Leading and trailing spaces and comments are ignored so that's the same as:
[BTS:Room G47]
The <location> may be blank but the colon must still be present, as in:
[BTS:]
(The location string can't contain a ']' - there is no escape mechanism.)
Within a section parameters are given like this:
[Defaults]
Router=192.168.0.1
SubnetMask = 255.255.255.0
PrimaryOmlTcpPort = 3002
[ BTS : Somewhere else ]
IPAddress = 192.168.0.2
