The Upload Event and Error Messages

The event and its error messages

The following event occurs when the receiving Rack PDU completes using the .ini file to update its settings.

Configuration file upload complete, with number valid values

If a keyword, section name, or value is invalid, the upload by the receiving Rack PDU succeeds, and additional event text states the error.

Messages in config.ini

A Rack PDU from which you download the config.ini file must be discovered successfully in order for its configuration to be included. If the Rack PDU is not present or is not discovered, the config.ini file contains a message under the appropriate section name, instead of keywords and values. For example:

Rack PDU not discovered

If you did not intend to export the Rack PDU configuration as part of the .ini file import, ignore these messages.

Errors generated by overridden values

The Override keyword and its value will generate error messages in the event log when it blocks the exporting of values. See “Contents of the .ini file” on page 104 for information about which values are overridden.

Because the overridden values are device-specific and not appropriate to export to other Rack PDUs, ignore these error messages. To prevent these error messages, delete the lines that contain the Override keyword and the lines that contain the values that they override. Do not delete or change the line containing the section heading.

On Windows operating systems, instead of transferring .ini files, you can use the APC Device IP Configuration Wizard to update the basic TCP/IP settings of the Rack PDU and configure other settings through its user interface. See “Device IP Configuration Wizard” on page 102.
