<BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>By managing the parameters<A NAME="I2"></A> of your SOLID <I>Server</I>, you can modify the environment, performance, and operation of the server.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>When SOLID <I>Server</I> is started, it attempts to open the configuration file solid.ini in the current directory<A NAME="I3"></A>. The configuration values for the server parameters are included in this file. If the file does not exist, SOLID <I>Server</I> will use the default settings for the parameters. Also, if a value for a parameter is not set in the solid.ini file, SOLID <I>Server</I> will use a default value for the parameter. The default values depend on the operating system you are using.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>Generally, the default settings offer the best performance and operability, but in some special cases modifying a parameter will improve performance. You can change the parameters either by using the SOLID <I>Remote Control</I> parameter page or by editing the configuration file solid.ini. The configuration file format is similar to the format found in MS Windows and OS/2.
