Setting Defaults for I/O Driver Configuration File Name and
Path
The default path for the configuration file is the same path where you installed the I/O
Server. The SI7 driver requires you to specify the default path and file name when
you automatically start the driver.
To set the default configuration file name and change the default path
[1] Select Setup from the Options menu. The Setup dialog box appears.
[2] Select the Default Path tab.
[3] Enter the configuration file’s default name and default path in the fields
provided.
IMPORTANT: A configuration file named nodename.SI7 is saved in the root
Dynamics directory when you install the driver. If you are using FIX the file resides
in the Database path (C:\FIX32\PDB, by default). Do not move, rename, or delete
this file. FIX and iFIX use this file to load the driver.
If you change the name of your SCADA server after installing the SI7 driver,
FIX/iFIX cannot automatically start the driver because the name of the node does not
match the name of the configuration file. To correct this, rename the configuration
file to match the name of your SCADA server. For example, if you change the name
of the SCADA server from SCADA1 to SCADA9, rename the configuration file from
SCADA1.SI7 to SCADA9.SI7.
