Exporting the file to a single Battery Management System Management
Card. To export the .ini file to another Management Card, use any of the file transfer protocols supported by Battery Management Systems (including FTP, FTP Client, SCP, and TFTP). The following example uses FTP:
1.From the folder containing the customized .ini file and its copy, use FTP to log in to the Battery Management System to which you are exporting the .ini file. For example:
ftp> open 158.165.4.135
2.Export the copy of the customized .ini file. The receiving Battery Management System Management Card accepts any file name that has the .ini suffix, is no more than 64 characters in length, and is exported to its root directory.
ftp> put filename.ini
Exporting the file to multiple Battery Management System Management
Cards. To export the .ini file to multiple Management Cards:
•Use FTP or SCP, but write a script that incorporates and repeats the steps used for exporting the file to a single management card.
•Use a batch processing file and the APC .ini file utility.
To create the batch file and use the utility, see Release Notes:ini File Utility, version 1.0 (.\doc\en\ininotes.pdf) on
See also the APC Battery Management System Utility CD.
