Configuring using FTP
The AXIS 700 configuration file includes all the system parameter
settings regarding network protocols, profiles, paper sizes and
destinations.
Follow these instructions to edit the configuration file using FTP:
Caution!
o
Windows 95/98 has a directory called ‘config’ that contains
important system files. It is important to change to another
directory using the
cd command before modifying your AXIS 700
configuration file from within a Windows 95/98 environment.
Failure to do this may result in some of your system files to be
overwritten.
1. In a DOS or UNIX window, type
ftp <IP address>, where
<IP address> is the name or IP address of your AXIS 700.
2. Login using the user id
root and the password pass (or the new
one you have set).
3. Type
get config.ini to download the configuration file to
your current directory.
4. Edit the file using your preferred text editor. In Windows 95/98
and Windows NT environments, you can for example use
Notepad.
Caution!
o
Do not use MS Word or similar word processor.
5. Type
put config.ini to download the file to the AXIS 700 and
save it permanently.
6. To exit FTP, type the command
quit, bye, or exit.
Notes: o The configuration file can be used as a template when configuring
multiple Network Scan Servers.
o It is sufficient to download the configuration parameters that have
changed. The other parameter settings will remain unchanged.
o Internet-related parameter settings cannot be changed using FTP.
