System Configuration 
 
The system file (##A=sys.ini – where ## is the system unit ID number) resides on the 
main system CPU, and contains information that is critical for proper operation.  On 
systems with a redundant CPU, it may be necessary to modify the system file on both of 
the NSS CPUs individually, in order to maintain proper operation.  DO NOT
 modify this 
file unless instructed to do so by qualified technical support personnel.

MPU955 Admin Console will retrieve the system file from the selected CPU and display 
it in the window provided. 
 
At the same time, the system file is saved in the “\Program 
Files\Panasonic\GXLAC\SysIni” folder as “01A=sys.ini” (or “01B=sys.ini” if from the 
redundant CPU). 
 
4. Modify the system file as needed 
 
Modifications will not

31  01A and 01B system files differ slightly.  It is not
 recommended that 
identical system files be loaded into both Main A and Main B CPUs. 
 
 
System Archive 
 
After the Main A and Main B CPU system files have been 
retrieved for the first time, it will be possible to view these files 
at a later date without actually performing a transfer.  These files 
(“01A=sys.ini” and “01B=sys.ini”) will be stored in the  
“\Program Files\Panasonic\GXLAC\SysIni” folder on the 
MPU955 Admin...

32  Backing Up 
 
After the “01A” and “01B” CPU system files have been retrieved for the first time, it will 
be possible to save these files to a different location, such as to floppy diskette.  These 
files (01A=sys.ini and 01B=sys.ini) are stored in the  “\Program 
Files\Panasonic\GXLAC\SysIni” folder on the MPU955 Admin Console computer’s hard 
drive.  Performing a backup from the SYS Archive section will save a copy of the 
specified system file to an alternate location of your...

are recommended.  The gauge area on the left side of this icon indicates if the [System] 
components’ settings are: A) too low for the CPU size selected (yellow), B) matching the 
CPU size selected (yellow and green), or C) too high for the CPU size selected (yellow, 
green, and red).
