How to Connect via FTP 

FTP connections can be made to the adtec device using any ftp client. 
Host: <ipa of the unit> 
Default Username: adtec 
Default Password: none 
Port: 21 
FTP is only useful for collecting logs from the device. 

How to Use API Commands 

The Adtec EN-20 device is unique in that it handles two physical encoders. To accomodate 
commands for controlling both encoders, you will need to specify which encoder you are 
working with for each command you issue. 
Please make the following adjustments: 

Instead of using *.ecmd as noted the API descriptions, you will need to use. 

*.ecmd0 to specify the  first encoder. 

*.ecmd1  to specify the  second encoder. 

Example: (*.ecmd0 TRA) will give you the transport status of the  first encoder.
