4.1.2 Remote archiving (FTP transfer)
This allows archiving of recorder fi les, for all groups with ‘Archive via FTP’ enabled, to a remote computer,
connected (using the RJ45 telephone type connector at the rear of the recorder) either directly, or via a
network . ‘Archive via FTP’ is enabled/disabled as part of Group confi guration -
section 4.3.2
.
In order to carry out a successful transfer, details of the remote host must be entered in the Archive sec-
tion of the ‘Confi g’ menu (
section 4.3.5
).
Note: An FTP server must be running on the remote host.
Figure 4.1.2 shows the menu for remote archiving. The Archive last hour/day etc. keys allow the user to
determine which fi les are to be archived. Selection of ‘Bring Archive Up To Date’ causes the recorder to
select whichever of the Last Hour/Last Day etc. categories is appropriate in order to bring the archive up
to date. The ‘Last Archive’ window shows the time and date of the previous archive. The Archive Transfer
window shows archive status as ‘Active’ or ‘Inactive’.

Additionally, a user on a remote PC has full viewing capabilities, can extract recorder fi les at any time, and
can access those items of recorder confi guration that are associated with the user’s login. For successful
connection, ‘Connect from Remote’ must be enabled and the ‘Remote user name’ and ‘Remote pass-
word’ must be defi ned in one of the accounts (all in the Security access menu (
section 4.4.1
)).
Notes:
1. In order to view history fi les when accessing the instrument remotely, the recorder’s address,
the ‘Remote user name’ and the ‘Remote password’ must be supplied to an FTP client such as
PC Review or Microsoft® Internet Explorer.
2. When accessing fi les using Microsoft® Internet Explorer, the address (URL) fi eld can be in one
of two forms:
a ftp://<instrument IP address>. This allows the user to log in as the anonymous user (if the
instrument has any account with ‘Remote user name’ set to ‘Anonymous’ and a blank password).
b ftp://<user name>:<password>@<instrument IP address> to log in as a specifi c user.
3. For IE5 users only: Microsoft® Internet Explorer displays, by default, history fi les only. To exit
the history folder, either uncheck the Tools/Internet Options/Advanced/Browsing/”Enable
folder view for FTP sites” option, or check the Tools/Internet Options/Advanced/Browsing/”Use
Web based FTP” option.
