How to Export Configuration Settings
Retrieving and Exporting the .ini File
Summary of the procedure
An Administrator can retrieve the .ini file of the cooling unit and export that file to another cooling unit or to multiple cooling units.
1.Configure the cooling unit to have the settings you want to export.
2.Retrieve the .ini file from that cooling unit.
3.Customize the .ini file (to change at least the TCP/IP settings) and make a copy to export.
4.Use a file transfer protocol supported by the cooling unit to transfer the copied file to one or more additional cooling units. (To transfer the file to multiple cooling units simultaneously, use an FTP or SCP script or the APC .ini file utility.
Each receiving cooling unit uses the file to reconfigure its own settings, and then deletes it.

•Section headings, which are category names enclosed in brackets ([ ]), and under each section heading, keywords, which are labels describing specific cooling unit settings.

–The Override keyword, with its default value, prevents one or more keywords and their
–You must edit the section [SystemDate/Time] to set the system date and time of a receiving cooling unit or cause that cooling unit to use an NTP Server to set its date and time.
See “Customizing” on page 63 for configuration guidelines for date and time settings.
