Switched Rack PDU

Customizing. You must customize the file to change at least the TCP/IP settings

before you export it.

1. Use a text editor to customize the file.

– Section headings, keywords, and pre-defined values are not case-sensitive, but

string values that you define are case-sensitive.

– Use adjacent quotation marks to indicate no value. For example, LinkURL1=""

indicates that the URL is intentionally undefined.

– To define values, opening and closing quotation marks are optional, except to

enclose values that contain leading or trailing spaces or values which are already

enclosed in quotation marks. (Leading or trailing spaces not within the opening and

closing quotation marks are ignored.)

– To export a specific system date and time or any scheduled events, you must

configure the values directly in the .ini file.

• To export a specific system time, export only the configured [SystemDate/

Time] section as a separate .ini file. (The time necessary to export a large file

would cause the configured time to be significantly inaccurate.)

• For greater accuracy, if the Switched Rack PDUs receiving the file can access a

Network Time Protocol (NTP) Server, set the value for the NTPEnable keyword

as follows:

NTPEnable=enabled

– Add comments about changes that you made. The first printable character of a

comment line must be a semicolon (;).

2. Copy the customized file to another file name in the same folder:

– The copy, which you will export to other Rack PDUs, can have any file name up

to 64 characters and must have the .ini file suffix.

– Retain the original customized file for future use. The file that you retain is the

only record of your comments. They are removed automatically from the file that

you export.
