Retrieving. To set up and retrieve an .ini file to export:
1. Configure a Rack PDU with the settings you want to export.
2. Use FTP to retrieve the file config.ini from the Rack PDU you configured:
a. Open a connection to the Rack PDU, using its IP Address. For example:
ftp> open 158.165.2.132
b. Log on, using the Administrator user name and password configured for the
Rack PDU.
c. Retrieve the config.ini file containing the Rack PDU’s current settings:
ftp> get config.ini
The file is written to the folder from which you launched FTP.
Note
To avoid errors, configure the Rack PDU by using its Web
interface or control console whenever possible. Directly editing
the .ini file risks introducing errors.
