Switched Rack PDU

101

Exporting the file to a single Rack PDU. To export the .ini file to another Switched

Rack PDU, use any of the file transfer protocols supported by Switched Rack PDUs

(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 Rack PDU 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 Rack PDU 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 Rack PDUs. To export the .ini file to multiple Switched

Rack PDUs:

• 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.
