2.5 ECNT Configuration
2.5.1 ECW.INI File
When ECNT is installed, the ECW.INI file is created. This file contains settings for your system
hardware. The first time ECNT is run, a setup procedure runs, asking you what hardware you have and
how it is configured. Responses to each question are written into the ECW.INI file. All other settings are
performed from the Configure menu on the Edit Screen.
" NOTE In most cases, ECNT arrives already installed and configured for your dispensing system
from the Asymtek factory.
2.5.1.1 Backup
Backup of the ECW.INI file is automatic. Each time the file is edited, the previous version is saved as
ECWyearmonthdayhourminutesecond.ini. Before editing a newly installed ECW.INI file, you should
make a copy on a floppy disk or in another directory on the hard drive.
To prevent losing your configuration once you have ECNT set up, you can copy the ECW.INI
configuration file to a floppy disk or to another folder on your hard drive. You should do this every time
you make a change to your configuration. You can rename the configuration files to distinguish one from
another, but before you restore the file you must rename it to ECW.INI.
To back up your configuration, click on
Help > Copy Configuration To Disk from the ECNT Edit
Screen. ECNT looks for a disk in the A drive. If one is present and has enough room on it, copying takes
place automatically. If there is no disk in the drive, an error message appears. Insert a floppy disk in the
drive and click on
Retry.
WARNING! Do not edit the ECW.INI file unless it is absolutely necessary and you have been
trained to do so. An error in this file can cause your system to run erratically, or
not at all. Contact your Asymtek representative before editing this file.
