How to Access the Automatic Transfer Switch Interfaces

FTP/SCP

You can use FTP (enabled by default) or Secure CoPy (SCP) to transfer new firmware to the Automatic Transfer Switch, or to access a copy of the Automatic Transfer Switch’s event logs. SCP provides the higher security of encrypted data transmission and is enabled automatically when you enable SSH.

Note

If you enable SSL and SSH for their high-security authentication and encryption, disable FTP. Allowing file transfer to the Automatic Transfer Switch through FTP compromises the high security you implement by choosing SSL and SSH. To disable FTP, you must be an Administrator; use the FTP Server option of the Network menu.

To access the Automatic Transfer Switch through FTP or SCP, the default user name and password are apc and apc for an Administrator, or device and apc for a Device Manager. In the command line, use the IP address of the unit.

See the User’s Guide to use FTP or SCP to transfer firmware files to the Network Management Card or to retrieve log files from the Network Management Card.
