CHAPTER 15: Saving & Restoring Parameters
167
15. Saving and Restoring
Configuration Parameters
Once the Outlet Managed PDU is properly congured, parameters can be
downloaded and saved as an ASCII text le. Later, if the conguration is
accidentally altered, the saved parameters can be uploaded to automatically
recongure the unit without the need to manually assign each parameter.
Saved parameters can also be uploaded to other Outlet Managed PDUs, allowing
rapid set-up when several identical units will be congured with the same
parameters.
The "Save Parameters" procedure can be performed from any terminal emulation
program that allows downloading of ASCII les (e.g. HyperTerminal™,
TeraTerm©, etc.).
Note:
The Save and Restore features described in this section are only
available via the Text Interface.
15.1. Sending Parameters to a File
1. Start your terminal emulation program and access the Text Interface
command mode using an account that permits Administrator level commands.
2. When the command prompt appears, type /U and press [Enter]. The
Outlet Managed PDU will prompt you to congure your terminal emulation
program to receive an ASCII download.
a) Set your terminal emulation program to receive an ASCII download, and
the specify a name for a le that will receive the saved parameters
(e.g. psv_parameters.PAR).
b) Disable the Line Wrap function for your terminal emulation program.
This will prevent command lines from being broken in two during
transmission.
