File Transfer (control console only). The File Transfer option of the Tools menu provides two methods for file transfer over the network and one for file transfer through a serial connection to the Battery Management System.

Option	Description
XMODEM	Allows you to transfer either an .ini file or a firmware upgrade file to a
	Battery Management System master controller using a terminal-emulation
	program only when you use a local connection to the control console. To
	connect to the control console locally, see Local access to the control
	console.
FTP	Use one of these two options to transfer either an .ini file or a firmware
Client	upgrade file from an FTP or TFTP server of your organization (company,
	agency, or department) to the current Battery Management System. These
	options assume that your organization has a centralized system for
TFTP	configuring or upgrading APC Management Cards (such as the one
Client	contained in the Battery Management System’s master unit).
	For FTP Client, you are prompted for a user name and password. For
	either option, you are then prompted for the server address and the file to
	transfer. After you supply that required information, the Battery
	Management System transfers the file.

See How to Export Configuration Settings for information on the content of the .ini file, how to preserve comments you add to the file, and how to export settings to multiple Battery Management Systems.

Preferences (Web interface)

Use this option to select either Fahrenheit or Celsius for the Battery Management System’s temperature display.
