For public disclosure
Advanced User Parameters are internal operating parameters used by the Ethernet
interface. For most applications, the default Advanced User Parameters should not be
changed.
If it is necessary to modify any of these parameters, it must be done by creating an
Advanced User Parameter file, using any ASCII text editor. This file must contain the
names and values of only those parameters that are being changed. The file must be
named AUP_0_0.apf. The completed file must be placed into the PLC folder that contains
the PLC configuration. When the entire hardware configuration is stored from the
programmer to the PLC, the programmer software also stores the parameters from the
AUP_0_0.apf file.

6.6.1 Format of the Advanced User Parameters File

The Advanced User Parameters file must have this format:
AUP_0_0
<parameter name> = <parameter value>
<parameter name> = <parameter value>
<parameter name> = <parameter value>
All parameter names are lowercase. The equal sign ( = ) is required between the
parameter name and parameter value.
Parameter values are converted to lowercase unless they are enclosed in a pair of double
quotes. The format for the individual parameter values depends on the parameter.
Numeric parameters are entered in decimal or hexadecimal format; hexadecimal values
must end with an 'h' or 'H' character. IP address parameters must be entered in standard
dotted decimal format. Character string values are case-sensitive. Uppercase parameter
values must be enclosed within a pair of double quotes. (The enclosing quotes are not part
of the data and are removed during processing).
Comments in the file must start with a semicolon character. All characters in the same
line following a semicolon are ignored. Blank lines are also ignored.
The following example sets the station manager password to system and the IP
time-to-live for point-to-point Ethernet Global Data exchanges to 4.

6.6.2 Example Advanced User Parameter File

AUP_0_0
stpasswd = "system" ;
gucast_ttl=4 ; set the EGD unicast IP TTL to 4
