67UPS Network Management Card 2 User’s Guide

Customizing. You must customize the file before you transfer it to another NMC.

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

NMCs 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 NMC. To transfer the .ini file to another Network Management Card, do

either of the following:

• From the user interface of the receiving

NMC, select Configuration - General - User Config File.

Enter the full path of the file, or use Browse on your local PC.

• Use any file transfer protocol supported by Network Management Cards, 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

NMC 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 NMC:

ftp> put filename.ini

Transferring the file to multiple NMCs. Follow these steps:

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

a single

NMC.

• Use a batch processing file and the .ini file utility.

To create the batch file and use the utility, see Release Notes: ini File Utility, version 2.0 on the

Network Management Card Utility CD or view it in the KBase, http://www.apc.com/site/support/
