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
),
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.
