file. Commands are:
- New
- Starts a new configuration file.
Note:
If you click New while you are currently editing an existing configuration
file, the BINL Server Configuration program prompts you to save your current
work.
- Open
- Opens an existing configuration file. Configuration files are
stored by default in the directory specified by the ETC environment
variable. A configuration file saved in another directory cannot be
used by the BINL server until it is moved to the ETC directory.
- Load Sample
- Loads the sample configuration file, which contains an example of every
type of configurable object. You can use the sample as a starting point
for your own configuration.
- Save
- Saves the current file, using the existing file name. The
configuration remains open, available for additional changes. If this
is a new file, the default file name is BINLSD.CFG in the directory
specified by the ETC environment variable.
- Save As
- Saves the current file, prompting for a file name. The
configuration remains open, available for additional changes. If the
configuration file is not saved in the directory specified by the ETC
environment variable, it cannot be used by the BINL server until it is moved
to the ETC directory.
- Exit
- Exits the BINL Server Configuration program. You are prompted to
save unsaved changes.
Use the Edit menu to find configuration items and to delete,
cut, copy, and paste configuration items. Commands are:
- Find
- Opens the Find window so you can find an item in the
configuration, such as a particular client.
- Cut
- Cuts the selected configuration item and any subordinate items to the
clipboard and grays the item in the current view.
Note:
If you cut an item and immediately cut or copy a second item without pasting
the first item, the clipboard content is not discarded; the BINL Server
Configuration program returns the previously-cut item to an active state in
the view.
- Copy Item
- Copies the selected configuration item to the clipboard. Items
subordinate to the selected item are not copied.
- Copy Tree
- Copies to the clipboard the selected configuration item and all items
defined within its scope.

the same level, after the currently-selected item. The copied item
remains on the clipboard so you can paste it again.

- If appropriate to the target destination, pastes the clipboard content as
a subordinate item within the currently-selected item. The copied item
remains on the clipboard so you can paste it again.

notebook so you can exclude a client uniquely identified by a MAC address
