CHAPTER 15: Saving & Restoring Parameters

15.3. Restoring Previously Saved Parameters
If you make a mistake while conguring the Outlet Managed PDU, and wish to
return to the previously saved parameters, the Text Interface’s "Reboot System"
command (/I) offers the option to reinitialize the unit using previously backed up
parameters. This allows you to reset the Outlet Managed PDU to previously saved
parameters, even after you have changed parameters and saved them.
Notes:
• The Outlet Managed PDU will automatically backup saved
parameters once a day, shortly after Midnight. This configuration
backup file will contain only the most recently saved parameters,
and will be overwritten by the next night’s daily backup.
• When the /I command is invoked, a submenu will be displayed
which offers several Reboot options. Option 5 is used to
restore the configuration backup file. The date shown next to
option 5 indicates the date that you last changed and saved unit
parameters.
• If the daily automatic configuration backup has been triggered
since the configuration error was made, and the previously
saved configuration has been overwritten by newer, incorrect
parameters, then this function will not be able to restore the
previously saved (correct) parameters.
To restore the previously saved conguration, proceed as follows:
1. Access command move via the Text Interface, using a username/password
that permits access to Administrator level commands (see Section 5.1.1.)
2. At the Outlet Managed PDU command prompt, type /I and press [Enter].
The unit will display a submenu that offers several different reboot options.
