USER’S GUIDE

Detailed procedures
Use the following procedures to retrieve the settings of one Switched Rack PDU and export them to one or more other Switched Rack PDUs.
Retrieving. To set up and retrieve an .ini file to export:
1. Configure a Rack PDU with the settings you want to export.
To avoid errors, configure the Rack PDU by using its Web interface or control console whenever possible. Directly editing the .ini file risks introducing errors.
2.Use FTP to retrieve the file config.ini from the Rack PDU you configured:
a. Open a connection to the Rack PDU, using its IP Address. For example:
ftp> open 158.165.2.132
b.Log on, using the Administrator user name and password configured for the Rack PDU.
c.Retrieve the config.ini file containing the Rack PDU’s current settings:
ftp> get config.ini
The file is written to the folder from which you launched FTP.
To create batch files and use an APC utility to retrieve configuration settings from multiple Rack PDUs and export them to other Rack PDUs, see Release Notes: ini File Utility, version 1.0
