Transferring the file to a single Rack PDU. To transfer the .ini file to another Rack PDU, do either of the following:

•From the Web interface of the receiving Rack PDU, select the Administration tab, General on the top menu bar, and User Config File on the left navigation menu. Enter the full path of the file, or use Browse.

•Use any file transfer protocol supported by Rack PDUs, i.e., FTP, FTP Client, SCP, or TFTP. The following example uses FTP:

a.From the folder containing the copy of the customized .ini file, use FTP to log in to the Rack PDU to which you are exporting the .ini file:

ftp> open ip_address

b.Export the copy of the customized .ini file to the root directory of the receiving Rack PDU: ftp> put filename.ini

Exporting the file to multiple Rack PDUs. To export the .ini file to multiple Rack PDUs:

•Use FTP or SCP, but write a script that incorporates and repeats the steps used for exporting the file to a single Rack PDU.

•Use a batch processing file and the .ini file utility.

To create the batch file and use the utility, see Release Notes: ini File Utility, version 1.0, available at www.apc.com.
