5 When Notepad starts, open the File menu, and then choose Open. Navigate
to the folder where you copied the configuration file on your PC and select the
file. Click Open. The configuration file will open in Notepad, ready for editing.
Note: We do not recommend opening the configuration file in a word
processor such as Microsoft Word, because the file may be saved in a format
that cannot be read by the module.
6.3 Edit the Sample Configuration File Sections
Note: It is important that you plan your configuration before modifying the
configuration files. The remainder of this step provides the information to make
the appropriate modifications to the configuration files.
Important: This module supports a maximum configuration file size of 128
kilobytes (131072 bytes). If the configuration file is larger than this size, the
module will not accept the download. You can reduce the size of the
configuration file by opening the file in a text editor and removing comment
lines (lines preceded with the # character).
The LNG.CFG file has the following main sections:
 [Module]
 [Backplane Configuration]
 [LNG Client 0]
 [LNG Client 1]
 [I/O Chassis]
Important notes to consider when editing the sample configuration file:
 Comments within the file are preceded by the pound (#) sign. Any text on a
line that occurs after the # character will be ignored.
 Do not use tabs or other non-printing characters instead of spaces to
separate parameters (spacebar).
 Parameter names must begin in the first column of a line, and may not be
preceded with a space (spacebar) or other non-printing character.

This section provides the module with a unique name, identifies the method of
failure for the communications for the module if the PLC is not in run, and
describes how to initialize the module upon startup.
The following example shows a sample [Module] section:
[Module]
