Before using FTP, install the FTP client application on your PC. The FTP client software is not provided with
the WX6103 access controller. You must make sure that it is available by yourself. This section describes
how to maintain the access controller software using the FTP client application that comes with Microsoft
Windows XP.
Follow these steps to maintain the software of your access controller through FTP with the access
controller as the FTP server:
Step1
Set up a network environment, as shown in
Figure 47 Set up a software maintenance environment (AC as FTP server)
Step2
Configure the IP addresses for both sides, which must be on the same subnet. For example, set the IP
address of the FTP client to 192.168.0.1, and that of the access controller’s management Ethernet
interface to 192.168.0.2. Then use the ping command to verify the network connectivity.
Step3
Enable FTP service.
Configure FTP server authentication and authorization and enable FTP. The FTP server supports
multi-client access. When a remote FTP client sends a request to the FTP server, the FTP server executes an
action accordingly and returns the execution result to the client.

After enabling the FTP service and configuring the username and password, start the FTP client
application on the PC.
