Daylight saving
Path: Administration > General > Date & Time > daylight saving
Enable traditional United States Daylight Saving Time (DST), or enable and configure a customized
daylight saving time to match how Daylight Saving Time is implemented in your local area. DST is
disabled by default.
When customizing Daylight Saving Time (DST):
• If the local DST always starts or ends on the fourth occurrence of a specific weekday of a month
(e.g, the fourth Sunday), choose Fourth/Last. If a fifth Sunday occurs in that month in a
subsequent year, the time setting still changes on the fourth Sunday.
• If the local DST always starts or ends on the last occurrence of a specific weekday of a month,
whether it is the fourth or the fifth occurrence, choose Fifth/Last.
Format
Path: Administration > General > Date & Time > date format
Select the numerical format in which to display all dates in this user interface. In the selections, each
letter m (for month), d (for day), and y (for year) represents one digit. Single-digit days and months are
displayed with a leading zero.
Use an .ini File
Path: Administration > General > User Config File
Use the settings from one Rack Power Filter to configure another. Retrieve the config.ini file from the
configured Rack Power Filter, customize that file (e.g., to change the IP address), and upload the
customized file to the new Rack Power Filter. The file name can be up to 64 characters, and must have
the.ini suffix.
To retrieve and customize the file of a configured Rack Power Filter, see “How to Export
Configuration Settings” on page 88.
Instead of uploading the file to one Rack Power Filter, you can export the file to multiple Rack Power
Filters by using an FTP or SCP script or a batch file and the .ini file utility, available at www.apc.com/
tools/download.
Status Reports the progress of the upload. The upload succeeds even if the file contains errors, but a
system event reports the errors in the event log.
Upload Browse to the customized file and upload it so that the current Rack Power Filter can use it to set its
own configuration.
