Configuration of ACTS Parameters Using FTP
To configure ACTS parameters using FTP and a text editor, follow the steps outlined
below. However, it is much faster and easier to do this using the TimeVault web interface
(see “Remote ACTS Configuration” on page 3-34). During FTP configuration, the FTP
software creates a default configuration file (“acts.conf”) in your directory to hold the data
you have requested. Do not change the name of this file.
1. Send a “get” command: F100 config get acts host:192.168.1.14
dir:temp
TimeVault responds*:
Host config ip 192.168.1.14 configured
successfully!
Source file/config/acts.conf bytes read: 149
Dest File temp/acts.conf bytes written: 149
Configuration files transferred successfully!
*
<CR><LF>
follows each line
An example “acts.conf” file might look like:
number=3034944774,
line=9,
inter=1,
type=tone,
retry=5,
timeout=4,
duration=60,
delay=3,
period=15,
flag=ON,
speed=9600,
fudge=40,
pollCounter=7,
center=745,
modemInit=ATEM1QVW2+MS=V32,0,9600,9600,9600,9600;,
END
where:
number = the ACTS telephone number, including area code;
this example shows the NIST service in Boulder,
CO, U.S.A.
line = access digit for an outside dial tone
inter = prefix for international and long distance service (up
to 9-digits)
type = tone or pulse dialing
retry = number of times the modem tries to reach ACTS
