Learn about the interface configuration and startup

To configure the PI UFL interface, you must:

• Create and configure an interface instance.

• Create any required trusts.

• Configure the Windows service.

Before starting the interface, you must create a valid .ini file. For details, see Configuration file definitions.

Each instance of the interface also requires its own startup batch (.bat) file. This file contains commands and flags that configure settings for the interface. The batch files reside in the interface installation directory, which also includes a template batch file (PI_UFL.bat_new) that you can use to create new instances of the interface.

Note: Use the PI Interface Configuration Utility (PI ICU) to ensure the startup batch file is correctly formatted. Do not manually edit the startup batch file.

For a complete list of valid command line flags, open a command window, navigate to the interface installation directory, and issue the following command:
