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 Automatic Transfer Switch 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 (;).
