4.9. Modifying Other DCM Property Sheet Parameters

Within DCM, each board has a set of property sheets that display the board's configuration parameters, grouped together on tabs according to the type of board functionality that they affect. To change a board's configuration parameters, follow this procedure:

1. Display the board's property sheets by double-clicking the board model name on the DCM Main Window (Figure 8, DCM Main Window). This brings you to the DCM Property Sheets. The sample DCM Property Sheets window in Figure 14 shows property sheets for a DM3 IPLink board. Click each tab to view all of the board's parameters.

2. If the Intel Dialogic System is running (indicated by the status line at the bottom of the DCM Main Window), click the Stop Service option on the Service pull-down menu or the Stop Service icon on the DCM Main Window before changing parameter values.
3. To change the value of a parameter, select the parameter from the list at the top of the property sheet; the selected parameter and its current value are displayed on the bottom of the property sheet. Then type or select a value for the parameter in the drop-down list box. If you need information on DCM parameters, go to DCM Help by pressing F1.
4. Click the Apply or the OK button. Clicking the Apply button saves all the changes you have made without closing the dialog box. Clicking the OK button saves all your changes and closes the dialog box.
5. When you're finished changing parameters, restart the Intel Dialogic System by clicking the Start Service option on the Service pull-down menu or the Start Service icon on the DCM Main Window.

Note: It is possible to assign a different PCD file to a board by using the above procedure and changing the value of PCDFileName on the board's Misc property sheet. However, if you do not select the correct PCD file, the board will not start. Further, you also must select the appropriate FCD file. Therefore, this approach should only be used by an experienced System Administrator. Instead, use the procedure in "Section 4.10, Selecting Different DM3 Configuration Files."
