config.ini
The config.ini file is an optional configuration file located in the config/drivers/boschfpa/<io_server_id> directory, where <io_server_id> is the I/O Server id in lower case, and used to define zones (lines) names. If defined, these names will be used instead of the original <logical address>.<subaddress> format in the log files and GUI event log object.
Changes to the config.ini file are automatically detected and don't require a restart to become effective.
This file is case sensitive.
For each zone (line), enter a line formatted as:
line.<logical address>.<subaddress> = <name>
For instance, in config/drivers/boschfpa/fpa/config.ini:
line.3.1 = DATA ROOM SENSOR
line.4.1 = GENERATORS ROOM
