Pelco Understanding the System 9760 Directory for Optimal Performance

9700 DIRECTORY

The 9700 directory is the working directory of the CM9700-CC1. From the root directory, you can navigate to the 9700 directory by entering cd 9700 and then pressing Enter. The C:\9700 prompt appears.

To view the contents of the 9700 directory, enter dir and then press Enter (refer to Figure 41).

Figure 42. CM9700-CC1 9700 Directory

As shown in Figure 42, the 9700 directory includes the following CM9700-CC1 system software files:

•CM9700.EXE: System executable file that runs under the MS-DOS 6.22 operating system. When the CM9700-CC1 boots, the CM9700.EXE file executes the operational software and loads configuration files (discussed below) for system operation.

•Configuration files, which consist of the following:

NODEx.ALM (alarm setup file) NODEx.MSG (message setup file)

NODEx.CAM (camera setup file)

NODEx.GPI (GPI setup file)

NODEx.LCM (link camera setup file)

NODEx.MAC (macro setup file)

NODEx.MON (monitor setup file)

NODEx.PIN (operator setup file)

NODEx.SCP (communication setup file)

NODEx.SYM (system setup file)

where NODEx is the root name and x equals the node number. For a single-node system, the root name of the configuration files is NODE1 as shown in Figure 42. For each node within a multi-node system, configuration file root names are numbered sequentially according to the CM9700-NW1 port number to which each CM9700-CC1 is connected, for example, NODE5 and NODE6 in a two-node system.

Note the following:

•The NODEx.IDN configuration file that appears in the C:\9700 directory is not used.

•The number of bytes shown for the configuration files and the number of bytes shown at the bottom of the 9700 directory listing may vary from the numbers shown in Figure 42 depending on the particular configuration of your system.

Note that the 9700 directory also contains the startup.bat file. The startup.bat file is a batch file (a file that contains a sequence of commands) that automatically loads the CM9700.EXE system executable file and all configuration files. The default startup.bat file reads as follows:

CM9700 NODEx

where:

x is the node number, for example, 1 for a single-node system (NODE1).
