APC ACRP100 User Manual

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 the FTP Server option (which you select on the Network menu of the 
Administration tab) has been changed from its default value (21), you must use the non-default 
value in the FTP command. For Windows FTP clients, use the following command, including 
spaces. (For some FTP clients, you must use a colon instead of a space between the IP address 
and the port number.)

ftp>open ip_address port_number 

1. Use the case-sensitive User Name and Password for either an Administrator or a Device User to 

log on.

• For  Administrator,  apc is the default for User Name and Password.

• For the Device User, device is the default for User Name, and apc is the default for 

Password.

2. Use the get command to transmit the text-version of the event log or data log to your local drive.

ftp>get event.txt

or

ftp>get data.txt

3. You can use the del command to clear the contents of the event log or data log.

ftp>del event.txt 

or

ftp>del data.txt 

You will not be asked to confirm the deletion. If you clear the event log, a new event.txt file is 
created to record the event.

4. Type quit at the ftp> prompt to exit from FTP.

To set a non-default port value to enhance security for the FTP Server, see “FTP 
server” on page 48. You can specify any port from 5001 to 32768.

See “About” on page 58 for information on configuring and using the request/response structure 
of building management systems using the Modbus protocol, and see “access control” on 
page 46, under “SNMP” for a description of SNMP access types that enable an NMS to perform 
informational queries. Configuring the most restrictive SNMPv1 access type, READ, enables 
informational queries without the risk of allowing remote configuration changes.
