boschfpa.ini
The boschfpa.ini file is an optional configuration file located in the main directory (same directory as hsyco.ini or hsyco.jar) and used to define zones (lines) names. If defined, these names will be used instead of the original <logical address>.<subaddress> format in the log files and GUI event log object.
Changes to the boschfpa.ini file are automatically detected and don't require a restart to become effective.
This file is case sensitive.
For each zone (line), enter a line formatted as:
<io_server_id>.line.<logical address>.<subaddress> = <name>
For instance:
fpa.line.3.1 = DATA ROOM SENSOR fpa.line.4.1 = GENERATORS ROOM
