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

– The copy, which you will export to other Automatic Transfer Switches,

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.

Exporting the file to a single Automatic Transfer Switch. To export

the .ini file to another Automatic Transfer Switch, use any of the file transfer

protocols supported by Automatic Transfer Switch (including FTP, FTP

Client, SCP, and TFTP). The following example uses FTP:

1. From the folder containing the customized .ini file and its copy, use

FTP to log in to the Automatic Transfer Switch to which you are

exporting the .ini file. For example:

ftp> open 158.165.4.135

2. Export the copy of the customized .ini file. The receiving Automatic

Transfer Switch accepts any file name that has the .ini suffix, is no more

than 64 characters in length, and is exported to its root directory.

ftp> put filename.ini

Exporting the file to multiple Automatic Transfer Switches. To export

the .ini file to multiple Automatic Transfer Switches:

• Use FTP or SCP, but write a script that incorporates and repeats the

steps used for exporting the file to a single Management Card.

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