The Upload Event and Error Messages
The event and its error messages
The following event occurs when the receiving Rack PDU completes using the .ini file to update its
settings.
Configuration file upload complete, with number valid values
If a keyword, section name, or value is invalid, the upload by the receiving Rack PDU succeeds, and
additional event text states the error.
Messages in config.ini
A Rack PDU from which you download the config.ini file must be discovered successfully in order for
its configuration to be included. If the Rack PDU is not present or is not discovered, the config.ini file
contains a message under the appropriate section name, instead of keywords and values. For example:
Rack PDU not discovered
If you did not intend to export the Rack PDU configuration as part of the .ini file import, ignore these
messages.
Errors generated by overridden values
The Override keyword and its value will generate error messages in the event log when it blocks the
exporting of values. See “Contents of the .ini file” on page 104 for information about which values are
overridden.
Because the overridden values are device-specific and not appropriate to export to other Rack PDUs,
ignore these error messages. To prevent these error messages, delete the lines that contain the
Override
keyword and the lines that contain the values that they override. Do not delete or change the line
containing the section heading.
Related Topics
On Windows operating systems, instead of transferring .ini files, you can use the APC Device IP
Configuration Wizard to update the basic TCP/IP settings of the Rack PDU and configure other settings
through its user interface. See “Device IP Configuration Wizard” on page 102.
