Exporting Configuration Settings
Retrieving and Exporting the .ini File
Summary of the procedure
An Administrator can retrieve the .ini file of a Main Module and export it to another Main
Module or to multiple Main Modules.
1. Configure a Main Module to have the settings you want to export.
2. Retrieve the .ini file from that Main Module.
3. Customize the file to change at least the TCP/IP settings.
4. Use a file transfer protocol supported by the Main Module to transfer a copy to
one or more other Main Modules. For a transfer to multiple Main Modules, use
an FTP or SCP script or the APC .ini file utility.
Each receiving Main Module uses the file to reconfigure its own settings and then
deletes it.
Contents of the .ini file
The config.ini file you retrieve from a Main Module contains the following:
• section headings and keywords (only those supported for the device from which you
retrieve the file): Section headings are category names enclosed in brackets ([ ]).
Keywords, under each section heading, are labels describing specific Main Module
settings. Each keyword is followed by an equals sign and a value (either the default
or a configured value).
• The Override keyword: With its default value, this keyword prevents the exporting
of one or more keywords and their device-specific values, e.g., in the
[NetworkTCP/IP] section, the default value for Override (the MAC address of
the Main Module) blocks the exporting of values for the SystemIP, SubnetMask,
DefaultGateway, and BootMode.
