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 Management Card. To transfer the .ini file to
another Network Management Card, do either of the following:
• From the Web interface of the receiving Management Card, select the
Administration tab, General on the top menu bar, and User Config File on the left
navigation menu. Enter the full path of the file, or use Browse.
• 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 Management Card 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
Management Card:
ftp> put filename.ini
Exporting the file to multiple Management Cards. To export the .ini file to multiple
Network Management Cards:
• Use FTP or SCP, but write a script that incorporates and repeats the steps used for
exporting the file to a single Network Management Card.
• Use a batch processing file and the APC .ini file utility.
To create the batch file and use the utility, see Release Notes: ini File
Utility, version 1.0 on the APC Network Management Card Utility CD.
