OUTLET MANAGED PDU

5.10. Save User Selected Parameters
It is strongly recommended to save all user-dened parameters to an ASCII le as
described in Section 15. This will allow quick recovery in the event of accidental
deletion or reconguration of port parameters.
When changing conguration parameters via the Text Interface, make certain that
the Outlet Managed PDU has saved the newly dened parameters before exiting
from command mode. To save parameters, press the [Esc] key several times until
you have exited from all conguration menus and the Outlet Managed PDU displays
the "Saving Conguration" menu and the cursor returns to the command prompt.
If newly dened conguration parameters are not saved prior to exiting from
command mode, then the Outlet Managed PDU will revert to the previously saved
conguration after you exit from command mode.
5.10.1. Restore Conguration
If you make a mistake while conguring 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 unit 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 Outlet
Managed PDU 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.
