Configuration

Configuration information is represented in XML syntax. The root element is called configuration.
The configuration file is usally named ulenetcfg.xml and is located in C:\Program Files\ULE-Net.

You can specify configuration files to be loaded when ulenet is started by using the -c, --config-file commandline options:

ulenet.exe -c ulenetcfg_base.xml -c ulenetcfg_mynet.cfg

Started this way, ulenet first loads configuration information from the file ulenetcfg_base.xml, which could for example contain basic settings for the DVB system. After that, ulenet will load additional information from file ulenetcfg_mynet.cfg, which in our example would contain the configuration of the IP over DVB streams.

Configuration File Example
