Using an existing file

To use an existing file to configure a connector, you must open the file in Connector Configurator Express, revise the configuration, and then save the file as a configuration file (*.cfg file).

You may have an existing file available in one or more of the following formats:

Although any of these file sources may contain most or all of the connector-specific properties for your connector, the connector configuration file will not be complete until you have opened the file and set properties, as described later in this appendix.

Follow these steps to open a *.txt, *.cfg, or *.in file from a directory:

  1. In Connector Configurator Express, click File > Open > From File.
  2. In the Open File Connector dialog box, select one of the following file types to see the available files:
  3. In the directory display, navigate to the correct connector definition file, select it, and click Open.

Opening an existing file from System Manager

Follow these steps to open a connector configuration from a System Manager project:

  1. Start System Manager.
  2. Start Connector Configurator Express.
  3. Click File > Open > From Project.

To edit an existing configuration file:

  1. In the System Manager window, select any of the configuration files listed in the Connector folder and right-click on it. Connector Configurator Express opens and displays the configuration file with the file name at the top.
  2. Click the Properties tab to see which properties are included in this configuration file.
