Intermate100 and Intermate101 Print Server Administration Manual 201
Upgrade Components: Configuration Files
28.4. Configuration Files
Factory default settings are written into a database where they
cannot be affected by what you do as a user.
The FTP directory in the print server holds at least one, and
sometimes up to 10 different FTP-”files” reflecting the current
settings for the server.
28.4.1. “The” configuration file: ima_cfg.bin
The FTP file that is always present is ima_cfg.bin.
This file contains all current settings except print-server-spe-
cific identifying information (IP address, host name, and the
like) and the “IDB” settings described below (
page 202
).
When your print server is factory new, ima_cfg.bin contains
only factory defaults. Each time you save your own settings,
they will replace the original values in ima_cfg.bin. And each
time you restore factory defaults, the original values replace
your own values in ima_cfg.bin.
You can use transfer the settings in ima_cfg.bin from one print
server to another or to several others. This means that you can
make a single configuration and then quickly set up several
identically configured print servers.
As with all other operations involving the print server’s FTP
directory, you can use FTP directly (see
“The Binary Configura-
tion File (ima_config.bin)” [page 209]
) or use the IMCU (see
“Using the IMCU for Maintenance” [page 211]
and especially on
page 215
). Note also that the IMCU can be used to update sev-
eral print servers at simultaneously (see
“Bulk Upgrade”
[page 217]
) - provided that all the servers involved are based
on the same software component and that they all have the
same password.
