Management System Management Card and export them to one or more
other Battery Management System Management Card(s).
Retrieving.
To set up and retrieve an .ini file to export:
1. Configure a Management Card with the settings you want to export.
2. Use FTP to retrieve the file config.ini from the Management Card you
configured:
a. Open a connection to the Battery Management System’s
Management Card, using its IP Address. For example:
ftp> open 158.165.2.132
b. Log on, using the Administrator user name and password configured
for the Battery Management System.
c. Retrieve the config.ini file containing the Management Card’s
current settings:
ftp> get config.ini
The file is written to the folder from which you launched FTP.
To avoid errors, configure the Management Card by using its
Battery Management System Web interface or control
console whenever possible. Directly editing the .ini file risks
introducing errors.
