FTP TRANS settings-
▪ To get to this page select the FTP TRNAS softkey which is two over from the common
key. Once you are here it should say CONNECT 1 at the top.

▪ When you are here, enter in the IP address of the PDNC server.
▪ The port number for the first machine will be 9001.
o For any other machines following this one you will want to designate the next
one to be 9002 and then for the next 9003 and so on and so on. **Note** The
PDNC server must allow these ports inbound through the windows firewall

▪ You will need to enter in a Username and password. FTP for the username and the
password. Do not make this anything else.

▪ For available device it should say EMBEDDED

See the image below for an example:

Login Folder
There is another screen if you press the down arrow key. This brings up the login folder.
▪ Login folder is typically not needed
▪ For LOGIN FOLDER: Specify a work folder to be used when logging in to the
host computer. (Up to 127 characters can be specified.) If nothing is specified,
the home folder specified in the host computer becomes the log-in folder.

See image below of where to put information.

SWITCHING BETWEEN THE EMBEDDED ETHERNET DEVICES

There are two types of embedded Ethernet devices: the embedded Ethernet port and PCMCIA
Ethernet card. Screen operation is required to switch between these two types of devices.

Procedure
1 Press the function key.
2 Soft keys [EMBED] and [PCMCIA] appear. (When there is no soft keys, press the continue
key.)
3 Press soft key [EMBED] or [PCMCIA], press soft key [COMMON], and then press [(OPRT)] to
display soft key [EMB/PCM].
4 Pressing soft key [EMB/PCM] switches between enabled devices. • If you want to execute the
switchover, press soft key [EXECUTE]. • If you do not want to execute the switchover, press
soft key [CANCEL].
5 The valid devices are switched each time Step 4 is performed.

NOTE Information on a switched device is stored in nonvolatile memory. On the next power-
on, the device last selected can be used as is.

FTP File Transfer Function

The operation of the FTP file transfer function is described below.

Host file list display

A list of the files held on the host computer is displayed.

Procedure

1 Press the function key.

P a g e 4 | 10
2 Press soft key [DIR+]. The program folder screen appears. (If the soft key does not appear,
press the continuous menu key.)

3 Press soft keys [(OPRT)] and [DEVICE] in that order. The soft keys for selectable devices
appear.

4 Pressing soft key [EMB ETH] displays the Embedded Ethernet host file list screen, on which a
list of files in the host computer connected with the embedded Ethernet port is displayed.

NOTE When using the FTP file transfer function, check that the valid device is the embedded
Ethernet port. The two conditions below determine a connection destination on the host file
list screen: (1) Check that the valid device is the embedded Ethernet port. It is selected using
soft key [EMB/PCM] on the Ethernet setting screen. (2) A host computer can be selected from
connection destinations 1, 2, and 3. A computer to be connected is selected using the
operation procedure described in "Operation on the FTP file transfer setting screen" or “HOST
CHANGE” explained later.

5 When a list of files is larger than one page, the screen display can be switched using the page
keys.

Displaying and operating the file list

DETAIL ON, DETAIL OFF

Displays can be switched between outline and detailed file lists. Either the outline or detailed
file list display is selected each time soft key [DIR+] is pressed. The outline file list display
contains only file names, while the detailed file list display contains file sizes, creation dates,
and other file information as well file names.

NOTE 1 The items displayed in the detailed list depend on the FTP server setting on the host
computer. 2 When files in the detailed file list are operated on, information displayed at the
right edge of the screen is treated as a file name. Therefore, it is likely that files may not be
operated on properly depending on displays or file names. If this is the case, use the outline file
list display.
