Switched Rack PDU

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.
