Configuration of ACTS Parameters Using FTP

To configure ACTS parameters using FTP and a text editor, follow the steps outlined below. However, it is much faster and easier to do this using the TimeVault web interface (see “Remote ACTS Configuration” on page 3-34). During FTP configuration, the FTP software creates a default configuration file (“acts.conf”) in your directory to hold the data you have requested. Do not change the name of this file.

1.Send a “get” command: F100 config get acts host:192.168.1.14 dir:temp

TimeVault responds*: Host config ip 192.168.1.14 configured successfully!

Source file/config/acts.conf bytes read: 149

Dest File temp/acts.conf bytes written: 149 Configuration files transferred successfully!

*<CR><LF> follows each line

An example “acts.conf” file might look like:

number=3034944774,

line=9,

inter=1,

type=tone,

retry=5,

timeout=4,

duration=60,

delay=3,

period=15,

flag=ON,

speed=9600,

fudge=40,

pollCounter=7,

center=745,

modemInit=ATEM1QVW2+MS=V32,0,9600,9600,9600,9600;,

END

where:
