Customizing. You must customize the file 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.

– Enclose in quotation marks any values that contain leading or trailing spaces or are already

enclosed in quotation marks.

– To export scheduled events, configure the values directly in the .ini file.

– To export a system time with the greatest accuracy, if the receiving cooling units can access a

Network Time Protocol server, configure

enabled for NTPEnable:

NTPEnable=enabled

Alternatively, reduce transmission time by exporting the [SystemDate/Time] section as a

separate .ini file.

– To add comments, start each comment line with a semicolon (

;).

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

– The file name can have up to 64 characters and must have the .ini suffix.

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

of your comments.

Transferring the file to a single cooling unit. To transfer the .ini file to another cooling unit, do

either of the following:

• From the Web interface of the receiving cooling unit, select the Administration tab, General on

the top menu bar, and User Config File on the left navigation menu. Enter the full path of the file,

or use Browse.

• Use any file transfer protocol supported by cooling units, i.e., FTP, FTP Client, SCP, or TFTP).

The following example uses FTP:

a. From the folder containing the copy of the customized .ini file, use FTP to log in to the

cooling unit to which you are exporting the .ini file:

ftp> open ip_address

b. Export the copy of the customized .ini file to the root directory of the receiving cooling

unit:

ftp> put filename.ini

Exporting the file to multiple cooling units. To export the .ini file to multiple cooling units:

• Use FTP or SCP, but write a script that incorporates and repeats the steps used for exporting the

file to a single cooling unit.

• 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 on the Utility CD.
