Detailed procedures

Retrieving. To set up and retrieve an .ini file to export:
1. Configure a Management Card with the settings you want to export.
To avoid errors, configure the Management Card by using its Battery Management System 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 Management Card you configured:
a. Open a connection to the Battery Management System’s Management Card, 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 Battery Management System.
c.Retrieve the config.ini file containing the Management Card’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 Battery Management System Management Cards and export them to other Battery Management System Management Cards, see Release Notes: ini File Utility,
