Revparam in UD4 (OpenInsight 32-Bit)

I've just installed a UD4.0 system. In the directory of where the UD4.0 service files are unloaded, the install has created a 'revparam' file.
Has this file any significance other than to be the template of what gets copied into the working directory of our application?
I had also set the IP address to 127.0.0.1 rather than the servers IP address (as I didn't know it at the time). Everything works just fine (or so it appears). What is the issue with the use of 127.0.0.1 vs the correct IP address of the server?
I also notice that having kicked off the application, I then went to the revparm file, and changed the 127.0.0.1 to the server's IP address, and then in exiting the application, the exit failed as the system couldn't find some executables. I then switched the revparam back, and lo and behold it's all working.
This last titbit, then makes it look like the system reads the revparam every read rather than upon initial instantiation of OI.
Any chance on some detailed clarification?

Yes, this is the revparam for the LH Manager application.

Did you try running your application from a workstation? Whenever I have done this (use 127.0.0.1) I get errors running from anywhere else but the machine the Service is installed on. That is something I will confirm.

I know the revparam is constantly referred to by OI, but I could not say for certain if it is every read, or even more often. I'll see if I can get further clarification from the developers.
