File Transfer (control console only).
The File Transfer option of the
Tools menu provides two methods for file transfer over the network and
one for file transfer through a serial connection to the Battery Management
System.
Preferences (Web interface)
Use this option to select either Fahrenheit or Celsius for the Battery
Management System’s temperature display.
Option Description
XMODEM Allows you to transfer either an .ini file or a firmware upgrade file to a
Battery Management System master controller using a terminal-emulation
program only when you use a local connection to the control console. To
connect to the control console locally, see
Local access to the control
console .
FTP
Client Use one of these two options to transfer either an .ini file or a firmware
upgrade file from an FTP or TFTP server of your organization (company,
agency, or department) to the current Battery Management System. These
options assume that your organization has a centralized system for
configuring or upgrading APC Management Cards (such as the one
contained in the Battery Management System’s master unit).
For FTP Client , you are prompted for a user name and password. For
either option, you are then prompted for the server address and the file to
transfer. After you supply that required information, the Battery
Management System transfers the file.
TFTP
Client
See How to Export Configuration Settings for information on the
content of the .ini file, how to preserve comments you add to the
file, and how to export settings to multiple Battery Management
Systems.
