MIP5000 Configuration File Generation via DCPM

[GustavoFring]

Hello All,
I'm trying to enable cross muting on an MIP5000 console. I modify the DB in CSDM, generate the configuration files. When I attempt to load the config in the MIP console, only the old copy is there. The default path CSDM is using is C:\ProgramData\Motorola\MIP5000\CSDM\Configuration. No .cfg file is even generated there. Only a handful of .xml files.

The console itself is looking in C:\ProgramData\Motorola\MIP5000\OIM\Ini The old config files are there. I've tried changing the default path to a USB Drive, still doesn't generate a CFG file. Tried restarting the PC, restarting DCPM, no results. Am I missing a step here?

Thanks!

I will look in my MIP. I want to say the XML files are the config files? You are restarting the console application in DCPM?

Thanks for the reply. I’m a bit confused on this too. It generates a bunch of XML files, which I can open and see configuration settings in. But there are separate .cfg files in that OIM\ini folder I can load manually. I’m beginning to suspect the xml files are “global settings” so to speak and the cfg are local settings like window positions, colors etc.

I’ve generated the config a few times. Restarted the DCPM and even restarted each machine a few times. Even the tftp logs show the other consoles downloading the new config xml files.

I read somewhere on batlabs a gentleman said he needs to restart gateways and everything to see some settings take effect. I may try that tomorrow.

You can force the gateways to pull the updated config in the DCPM.

Just power cycle? If so, is this necessary for a change like console cross mute?
