To use FTP to retrieve the file. To use FTP to retrieve the event.txt or data.txt file:
1. At a command prompt, type ftp and the Management Card’s IP address, and press ENTER. If the
Port setting for the FTP Server option (which you select on the Network menu of the
Administration tab) has been changed from its default value (21), you must use the non-default
value in the FTP command. For Windows FTP clients, use the following command, including
spaces. (For some FTP clients, you must use a colon instead of a space between the IP address
and the port number.)
ftp>open ip_address port_number
1. Use the case-sensitive User Name and Password for either an Administrator or a Device User to
log on.
•For Administrator, apc is the default for User Name and Password.
• For the Device User, device is the default for User Name, and apc is the default for
Password.
2. Use the get command to transmit the text-version of the event log or data log to your local drive.
ftp>get event.txt
or
ftp>get data.txt
3. You can use the del command to clear the contents of the event log or data log.
ftp>del event.txt
or
ftp>del data.txt
You will not be asked to confirm the deletion. If you clear the event log, a new event.txt file is
created to record the event.
4. Type quit at the ftp> prompt to exit from FTP.
Queries (Modbus requests and SNMP GETs)
To set a non-default port value to enhance security for the FTP Server, see “FTP
server” on page 48. You can specify any port from 5001 to 32768.
See “About” on page 58 for information on configuring and using the request/response structure
of building management systems using the Modbus protocol, and see “access control” on
page 46, under “SNMP” for a description of SNMP access types that enable an NMS to perform
informational queries. Configuring the most restrictive SNMPv1 access type, READ, enables
informational queries without the risk of allowing remote configuration changes.
