■Provider information setting file

　The provider information configuration file stores configuration information for each provider. The setup tool performs configuration work by extracting configuration information for the provider specified by the user from this file.

1. Provider information configuration file format

　This file consists of multiple provider sections. One access point or connection method corresponds to one section. Each provider section in the file is written in the following format:

　[Provider service name.AP name]
　key name=value
　:

　"Provider service name.AP name" can be up to 54 characters in Japanese equivalent. Please give it an appropriate name. If there are multiple APs, create multiple sections by changing only the AP name part.
　All the information in this part of the file will be displayed as a list on the main dialog of the configuration tool, from which the user will select the provider, so it is necessary to configure the settings so that the provider and access point can be identified.
　"Provider service name.AP name" must be enclosed in square brackets. Also, square brackets must be half-width, and "[" must be at the beginning of the line. Provider service names and AP names must contain characters other than half-width square brackets and half-width preodals, and must not contain control codes such as line feed codes.
　A provider section starts with this sentence and ends before this next sentence.

　example
　[NetVision.Numazu]

　The “key name=value” statement defines the value of each provider's settings, and the key names are as explained below. All key names are half-width characters. A half-width equal sign (=) is required immediately after the key name. Specify the setting value as an integer, string, or string enclosed in quotation marks, depending on each setting.
　Comments can be written in the section initialization file. Add a semicolon (;) at the beginning of comment lines. From here, we will describe key names, default values, purpose of settings, and usage examples.
