Manually Transferring Data Logs
You can manually copy the data logs stored on the SmartServer flash disk to your computer via FTP
and then view the data log file using a spreadsheet application such as Microsoft Excel. To do this,
follow these steps:
1. Verify that you have the correct user name and password to access the SmartServer via FTP and
that FTP access is enabled on your SmartServer. To do this, follow these steps:
a. Right-click the SmartServer icon, point to Setup, and then click Security on the shortcut
menu. Alternatively, you can click Setup and then click Security. The Setup – Security
Web page opens.
b. In the General property, check the FTP/Telnet User Name and FTP/Telnet Password
properties.
c. In the Service property, verify that Enable FTP is selected.
2. In the browser of an FTP client such as Core FPT, WS FTP Pro, and Cute FTP, enter the FTP
URL of your SmartServer (ftp://192.168.1.222, for example).
3. Enter the FTP/Telnet user name and password for accessing your SmartServer via FTP.
4. Browse to the /data/<network>/<channel>/<SmartServer App device> folder. This folder
contains the log files for each Data Logger on your SmartServer. The log files are named Data
Logger [x].<file extension>, where x is the index number of the Data Logger functional block and
file extension is the file format you selected (.csv, .bin, or .csv.gz).
5. You can copy the data log file to your computer and then open it with a specific spreadsheet
application. You can also double-click the log file, click Open, and then enter your FTP/Telnet
user name and password. The log file opens in the default spreadsheet application for your
computer. If the log is saved as a compressed ASCII text file (.csv.gz extension), your need to
first extract the .csv file from the .csv.gz file using WinZip or Gnu Zip.
Viewing Data Points
You can monitor, chart, and control data points using the View - Data Points Web page. This Web
page includes a log that displays the current values and states of the selected data points, a trend graph
that charts the data point values over a specified interval, and fields for writing values to the data
points.
To use the View - Data Points Web page, follow these steps:
1. Click View and then click Data Points. The View - Data Points Web page opens. This Web
page includes a log and a trend graph that list and chart the values of selected data points
respectively.
2. Select the data points to monitor and control from either the local SmartServer, a remote
SmartServer, or an OpenLNS network database in the navigation pane.

To select data points from a remote SmartServer in the tree, you must first add a remote
SmartServer to the LAN.

To select data points from an OpenLNS network database, you must first install the Echelon
Enterprise Services 2.2 from the SmartServer 2.2 DVD (see Installing Echelon i.LON
Enterprise Services in Chapter 2 for more information); install OpenLNS Server from the
SmartServer 2.2 DVD if you installed Echelon Enterprise Services 2.2 (see Installing Echelon
OpenLNS Server in Chapter 2 for more information); and then add an OpenLNS Server to the
LAN that contains the OpenLNS network database (see Adding an OpenLNS Server to the
LAN in Chapter 3 for more information). The selected data points are listed in the log and
plotted on the trend graph.
