AST 5250 CONFIGURATION FILE
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The AST 5250 product family use a configuration program
|
|||
|
|
"CFG5251.EXE" to create a configuration file. The default name
|
|||
|
|
of this configuration file is "AST5251.CFG". The file contains
|
|||
|
|
the information and tables required for running emulation. If
|
|||
|
|
this file becomes corrupted during it's creation, invalid and
|
|||
|
|
unpredictable results may occur.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The following scenarios are listed here to provide the user with
|
|||
|
|
examples of the type of situations which could occur, due to a
|
|||
|
|
corrupted configuration file:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1. The user attempts to make a connection via ASYNC dial-
|
|||
|
|
up. The pc goes into a "waiting for call back" mode.
|
|||
|
|
No "call back" is received because there is no phone
|
|||
|
|
number stored in the master pc's directory.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
2. Printer aligns forms incorrectly due to invalid printer
|
|||
|
|
configuration strings in the print table.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
3. Invalid characters appear on the screen when keys are
|
|||
|
|
pressed due to invalid scan code tables.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
4. Diagnostic error codes appear erroneously on execution of
|
|||
|
|
"Kernel" due to corrupted hardware configuration table.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To correct these types of problems required deletion of the
|
|||
|
|
configuration file and recreation through "cfg5251.exe".
