FTP Access to Logs
A file transfer protocol (FTP) site such as FileZilla may be used to connect to the AXS Port. The FTP
client presents a normal file explorer display of the files stored on the microSD card.
The log files are stored under the LOGFILES directory. The naming convention of the log files is the
same as noted above.
Firmware Updates
The firmware revision of the AXS Port can be updated directly using a microSD card, or it can be
updated using an FTP site and the microSD card.
To update the firmware directly:
1. If necessary, load a firmware update to the microSD card. These updates are available at the
OutBack website, www.outbackpower.com.
2. Insert the SD card into the slot on the AXS Port.
3. Disconnect any OutBack device cable from the AXS Port.
4. Using a narrow tool, press and hold the reset switch. Reconnect the OutBack device cable. The
amber SD Card LED will blink while the firmware is being updated. When this indicator stops
blinking, release the switch.
