Daylight saving
Path: Administration > General > Date & Time > daylight saving
Enable traditional United States Daylight Saving Time (DST), or enable and configure a customized daylight
saving time to match how Daylight Saving Time is implemented in your local area. DST is disabled by default.
When customizing Daylight Saving Time (DST):
• If the local DST always starts or ends on the fourth occurrence of a specific weekday of a month (e.g,
the fourth Sunday), choose Fourth/Last. If a fifth Sunday occurs in that month in a subsequent year,
the time setting still changes on the fourth Sunday.
• If the local DST always starts or ends on the last occurrence of a sp ecific weekday of a month, whethe r
it is the fourth or the fifth occurrence, choose Fifth/Last.

Use an .ini File Path: Administration > General > User Config File
Use the settings from one NMC to configure another. Retrieve the config.ini file from the configured NMC,
customize that file (e.g., to change the IP a dd ress), and upload the customized file to the new NMC. The file
name can be up to 64 characters, and must have the.ini suffix.
To retrieve and customize the file of a configured NMC, see “How to Export Configuration
Settings” on page73.
Instead of uploading the file to one NMC, you can export the file to multipl e NMCs by using an FTP
or SCP script or a batch file and the .ini file utility, available from www.apc.com/tools/download.
Status Reports the progress of the upload. The upload succeeds even if the file contains errors, but a
system event reports the errors in the event log.
Upload Browse to the customized file and upload it so that the current NMC can use it to set its own
configuration.
