Configuration File Format

Example 3.1 shows a typical configuration file.

Example 3.1 Configuration File (PCAgent.cfg)

[PCISStartupArgs] 

-port 2001  

-commport 2002  

-pw password 

-agentcommport 2003 

-noscreen 

 

[CASStartupArgs] 

-casport 2004 

-agentcommport 2003

Note: You can comment or uncomment a line in the configuration file by adding or removing a semi-colon in front it.

As the example shows, the configuration file is divided into two sections.

The first section contains the main configuration settings. The first section begins with the line [PCISStartupArgs]. After that, each startup setting should be listed on a separate line, preceded by a hyphen. You can add a setting by placing it on a new line at the end of the section. The only required settings are - port, - commport, and - agentcommport.

The second section, beginning with [CASStartupArgs], contains settings for the Administration Console. There are only a few settings that go in this section, and two of them are required: - casport, and - agentcommport.
