Note: Only section headings and keywords supported by the cooling unit from which you retrieve the file are included. • Each keyword is followed by an equals sign and the current value for that parameter’s setting, either the default value (if the value has not been specifically configured) or the configured value. –The Override keyword, with its default value, prevents one or more keywords and their device-specific values from being exported. For example, in the [NetworkTCP/IP] section, the default value for Override(the MAC address of the cooling unit) blocks the exporting of the values for the keywords SystemIP, SubnetMask, DefaultGateway, and BootMode. – You must edit the section [SystemDate/Time] to set the system date and time of a receiving cooling unit or cause that cooling unit to use an NTP Server to set its date and time. See “Customizing” on page 63 for configuration guidelines for date and time settings. InRow RC/RD/RP (600 mm) User’s Guide Detailed procedures Use the following procedures to retrieve the settings of one cooling unit and export them to one or more cooling units. Retrieving. To set up and retrieve an .ini file to export: 1. Configure the cooling unit with the settings you want to export. Note: To avoid errors, configure the cooling unit by using its user interface whenever possible. Directly editing the .ini file risks introducing errors. 2. Use FTP to retrieve the file config.ini from the cooling unit you configured: a. Open a connection to the cooling unit, 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 cooling unit. c. Retrieve the config.ini file containing the cooling unit’s current settings: ftp> get config.ini The file is written to the folder from which you launched FTP. To create batch files and use an APC utility to retrieve configuration settings from multiple cooling units and export them to other cooling units, see Release Notes: ini File Utility, version 1.0 on the Utility CD. Customizing. You must customize the file to change at least the TCP/IP settings before you export it. 1. Use a text editor to customize the file. – Section headings, keywords, and pre-defined values are not case-sensitive, but string values that you define are case-sensitive. – Use adjacent quotation marks to indicate no value. For example, LinkURL1=""indicates that the URL is intentionally undefined. – To define values, opening and closing quotation marks are optional, except to enclose values that contain leading or trailing spaces or values which are already enclosed in quotation marks. (Leading or trailing spaces not within the opening and closing quotation marks are ignored.) – To export a specific system date and time or any scheduled events, you must configure the values directly in the .ini file. • To export a specific system time, export only the configured [SystemDate/Time] section as a separate .ini file. (The time necessary to export a large file would cause the configured time to be significantly inaccurate.) • For greater accuracy, if the cooling units receiving the file can access a Network Time Protocol (NTP) Server, set the value for the NTPEnablekeyword as follows: NTPEnable=enabled – Add comments about changes that you made. The first printable character of a comment line must be a semicolon (;). 2. Copy the customized file to another file name in the same folder: – The copy, which you will export to other cooling units, 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. InRow RC/RD/RP (600 mm) User’s Guide Transferring the file to a single cooling unit. To transfer the .ini file to one other cooling unit, do either of the following: • From the Web interface of the receiving cooling unit, 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 .ini file to transfer or use the Browse button to identify the location of the .ini file. • Use any of the file transfer protocols supported by cooling units (including FTP, FTP Client, SCP, and TFTP). The following example uses FTP: a. From the folder containing the customized .ini file and its copy, use FTP to log in to the cooling unit to which you are exporting the .ini file. For example: ftp> open 158.165.4.135 b. Export the copy of the customized .ini file. The receiving cooling unit 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 cooling units. T • Use FTP or SCP, but write a script that incorporates and repeats the steps used for exporting the file to a single cooling unit. • Use a batch processing file and the APC .ini file uti...
