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.

Contents of the .ini file

The config.ini file that you retrieve from the cooling unit contains the following:

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

Note: Only section headings and keywords supported by the cooling unit from which you retrieve the file are included.

Each keyword is followed by an equals sign and the current value for that parameter’s setting, either the default value (if the value has not been specifically configured) or the configured value.

The Override keyword, with its default value, prevents one or more keywords and their device-specific values from being exported. For example, in the [NetworkTCP/IP] section, the default value for Override (the MAC address of the cooling unit) blocks the exporting of the values for the keywords SystemIP, SubnetMask, DefaultGateway, and BootMode.

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.
