Symmetricom XLi IEEE 1588 manual Copy the Configuration Files to the FTP Server

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

For other operating systems and configurations, consult the appropriate documentation for obtaining the FTP server’s IP address.

Copy the Configuration Files to the FTP Server

Telnet to the XLi or open a terminal session to it over the serial port.

Using the command line, enter the commands below. Replace <IP Address> with that of the workstation/FTP Server. Leave <subdir> blank - the FTP server will save the files in anonymous’s home directory.

Note: See “Command Line Interface” on page 29 if you need instructions for connecting to the com- mand line interface

To get the SNMP config file, type:

>f100 config snmp get host:<IP Address> dir:<subdir>

Here’s an example of a successful SNMP config file transfer:

>f100 config snmp get host:192.168.0.1 dir: Host config ip 192.168.0.1 already configured Source file /config/snmp.conf bytes read: 1275 Dest file snmp.conf bytes written: 1275 Configuration files transferred successfully!

If you get “Error: Can’t write file” when you enter the get command, verify the following FTP server items:

•FTP server is running.

•Anonymous has a home directory.

•The home directory for Anonymous has read, write, and delete enabled (make sure to apply changes).

Edit the Configuration Files

In Windows, edit the configuration files using a text editor such as Notepad or Wordpad.

If using the pre configured FTP server (downloaded from http://www.ntp-systems.com/zip/warftpd1.zip),the FTP places the configuration files in C:\TrueTime, the default or home directory of “anonymous”.

Note: Follow these guidelines when editing the configuration files:

•If the editor displays odd 'box' characters or the lines of text don't wrap properly, close the file without saving changes and switch to a different text editor.

•Don't rename or save the configuration files as a new file type.

•Some text editors encode end-of-line carriage returns that cause errors when XLi refers to the file. Notepad, WordPad, Microsoft Word, and Vim don't seem to have this problem.
