NL120 Ethernet Module
In order to use FTP, the datalogger’s FTP User Name and FTP Password must
be set. This is done using Device Configuration Utility.
6.3.1.1 Step 1 – Configure Datalogger
a. Connect serial cable from PC COM port to datalogger RS-232 port.
b. Open Campbell Scientific’s Device Configuration Utility. Select the
device type of the datalogger (CR1000 or CR3000), the appropriate Serial
Port, and baud rate. Connect to the datalogger.
c. Under the Net Services tab, verify that FTP Enabled is checked. Input the
FTP User Name and FTP Password.
d. Press the Apply button to save the changes and then close the Device
Configuration Utility.
Using “anonymous” as the user name with no password allows
FTP access without inputting a user name or password.
6.3.1.2 Step 2 – Access File System
a. Datalogger must be set up for Ethernet communications as explained in
Sections 4.1, Physical Set-up, and 4.2, Communicating via Ethernet (Step
1 only).
b. Open a Windows Explorer window. Enter
ftp://username:[email protected] where nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is the
IP address of the datalogger.
If the user name is “anonymous” with no password, enter
ftp://nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn where nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is the IP address of
the datalogger.
6.3.2 FTP Client
The datalogger can also act as an FTP Client to send a file to or get a file from
an FTP Server (for example, another datalogger or web camera). This is done
using the FTPClient() instruction. The following program is an example of
using FTPClient() to send a file to another datalogger and get a file from that
datalogger. The first parameter in the instruction is the FTP Server’s IP
address. The second parameter is the FTP username. The third parameter is
the FTP password. The fourth parameter is the local filename. The fifth
parameter is the remote file name. The final parameter is the put/get option: 0
for put and 1 for get. The instruction returns –1 if the instruction was
successful and 0 if it was not.
