How to use FTP to retrieve log files
You can use FTP to retrieve a tab-delineated Event Log (event.txt) or Data
Log (data.txt) file that you can import into a spreadsheet application.
• The file reports all of the events (event.txt) or data (data.txt) recorded
since the log was last deleted.
• The file includes information that the Event Log or Data Log does not
display.
– The version of the file format (first field)
– The
Date
and
Time
the file was retrieved
– The
Name
,
Contact
,
Location
, and IP address of the Management
Card
– In the event.txt file, the unique
Event Code
for each recorded event
To use FTP to retrieve the event.txt or data.txt file:
1. At a command prompt, type ftp and the Management Card’s IP
address, and press
E
NTER
. If the
Port
setting for
FTP Server
in the
Network
menu has changed from its default value (21), you must use
the non-default value in the FTP command. For some FTP clients, you
must use a colon to add the port number to the end of the IP address.
For Windows FTP clients, use the following command (including
spaces):
ftp>open ip_address port_number
The Management Card uses a 4-digit year for log entries.
You may need to select a four-digit date format in your
spreadsheet application to display all four digits of the year.
To use non-default port values to enhance security, see
