About CPUM Configurator
CPUM CONFIGURATOR
6CPUMCONFIGURATOR
The management of networked VM600 racks with a CPUM card running firmware
version 075 or later can be simplified using the CPUM Configurator software.
NOTE: CPUM Configurator is compatible with CPUM cards running firmware version 075
or later.
To identify the firmware version of a CPUM card, see 3.3 Identifying the firmware version of
a CPUM card.
To work with CPUM cards running firmware version 074 or earlier, see 7 Terminal emulation
or refer to the VM600 networking manual, edition 6 (or earlier).
6.1 About CPUM Configurator
CPUM Configurator is a program that communicates with a CPUM card in a VM600 rack over
an Ethernet (TCP/IP) link.
Basically, it provides a graphical user interface for a Telnet session between the
CPUM Configurator (Telnet client) and a CPUM card (Telnet server), and is used primarily
for configuring CPUM cards and managing VM600 racks over Ethernet links.
The CPUM Configurator software is a single Windows
®
program file (*.exe).
6.1.1 CPUM card configuration files
A CPUM card uses a number of different configuration files to configure separate features
and functions of the CPUM card. It is these underlying configuration files that are accessed,
modified and/or updated using CPUM Configurator.
The configuration files are application dependant, so not all files are used by all CPUM cards.
For example, only a monitoring system that provides condition monitoring functions using
XMx16 conditioning monitoring cards requires xmcsrv.cfg and xmcnn.xml configuration
files.
In general, a complete user configuration for a CPUM card consists of the files given in
Table 6-1.
