RMS Configuration

Novara 3000 Series ControlPads Instruction Manual
Editing the Configuration File
The config.properties file enables you to edit the configuration file for the CP-RMS application to include the default
RMS Server IP address, the peer group, and the IP addresses of any ControlPads residing on a different subnet or
ControlPads you wish to statically define. You can also define the telnet information needed for accessing the CP-RMS
application from a PC. The file is typically located in the
C:\Program Files\AMX\CP-RMS directory on the PC on which the CP-RMS application is running.
You can open the file with any text editor program. Once you make changes to and save the file, you must start the CP-
RMS service. FIG. 87 displays an example of the configuration file.
Perform these steps to edit the configuration file:
1. Using the PC on which the RMS proxy is installed, navigate to the location of the config.properties file (usually
C:\Program Files\AMX\CP-RMS.)
2. Open the file with a Text Editor program like Notepad.
3. Change the default RMS server. This value is required for use if the ControlPad is not configured with an RMS
server in AMX DCS. See the Configuring Global Settings section on page 30 for more information.
4. Change the telnet port to the port you want to use to telnet into the proxy. You can telnet into the proxy on the same
PC it is running on by using the loopback IP address (127.0.0.1).
5. Change the value of the peer group. This is a user defined name for the proxy. You must configure this value on the
proxy and on all ControlPads which the proxy uses zero configuration to discover. You can configure this value on
the ControlPads in the global or device settings using AMX DCS. See the Configuring Global Settings section on
page 30 for more information.
6. Change the telnet debug level to the desired setting. This setting indicates the type of information that is reported to
the telnet log. Set it to 1 for errors only, 2 for information and errors, or 3 for information, errors, and debug
information.
7. Enable or disable telnet by adding enabletelnet=0 to the configuration file. Set 1 for enable and 0 for disable.
8. Add any IP addresses or hostnames for ControlPads residing on a different subnet than the proxy, or any
ControlPads you want to statically configure.
9. Save the file.
Starting the CP-RMS Service
After editing and saving the config.properties file, you must start the CP-RMS Service (Administrative Tools>Services).
If you need to change the config.properties file at a later date, you must restart the CP-RMS Service for any changes to
take effect.
