Anatomy of the config.ini file used in the AP9631 NMC

[Anonymous user]

Hi y'all.

I have been looking through the forums for information on the config.ini file and particularly what the Event Action Config section does. I think that I understand it (please see attached MS Word document) with the exception of the =E and =ES immediately after the event action id. E seems to mean write to the event log, but I would like to know what =ES does. Some of the events that have been configured on a test UPS/NMC keep =ES throughout, some change to =E. The best guess I can make is that it is some identifier for a system event.

Can anybody shed any further information?

Many thanks

Hi and thanks very much for the reply, just what I was after!

Just to put your mind at rest, I wasn't intending to configure events through the config.ini file but use the information to document what will become the standard configuration for some 15 UPS units in different offices. I had already drawn the conclusion that it was best to configure one and then upload the config file to each UPS.

Once again, thanks for the info.

Can you please repeat the difference between E and ES?  You response is incomplete in the forum.  Thank you!

Also necro-posting because I have no idea what something like "ES,E[:::],T[:::::]" means, nor how to change it.

I've purchased EcoStruxure IT Expert licenses for all NMC3 cards, and it should allow me to turn off email alerts (every 2 minutes) until the condition clears; however, without knowing what these settings mean - or how to configure them - I still have to remote in to the server, open a web browser, log on to the AP9640, and uncheck a box.  And then repeat the procedure after the event clears.

What is the hidden document for NMC3 AP964x devices?
