 Configuration files have a simple structure consisting of stanzas, key/value pairs and comments. A stanza is a block of text within a configuration file. It starts with a name (or number) surrounded by square brackets on a line by itself. Configuration files will have one or more stanzas. Each stanza continues until the next stanza or end of file.

 Stanzas contain one or more ker/value pairs. Key/value pairs set various values within each stanza.

 Config file comments are preceded with a semicolon. In this example of two nodes the stanza is the node number and the key/value pairs set the CW ID and the ID timer:
