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
ENTER. 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 Port
assignments.
