To use FTP to retrieve the files.

To use FTP to retrieve the event.txt or data.txt file:

1. At a command prompt, type ftp and the IP address of the Rack PDU, and

press

E

NTER

.

If the

Port

setting for the

FTP Server

option (set through the

Network

menu of the

Administration

tab) has been changed from its default (

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

2. Use the case-sensitive

User Name

and

Password

for Administrator or Device

User to log on. For Administrator,

admin

is the default for

User Name

and

Password

. For the Device User, the defaults are

device

for

User Name

and

Password

.

3. Use the

get

command to transmit the text of a log to your local drive.

ftp>get event.txt

or

ftp>get data.txt

4. Type

quit

at the

ftp>

prompt to exit from FTP.

To set a non-default port value to enhance security for the FTP Server,
see

FTP Server

. You can specify any port from 5001 to 32768.
