FTP filename requirements
FTP filenames are limited to standard ASCII characters.
This means that they cannot contain a blank space, quotation marks or \, /, *, ?, < or >,
and are limited to 68 characters in length, including the file extension. The “/” character
is only used as part of the FTP file directory information.
Accessing your meter’s FTP server
You must have FTP software such as Filezilla, WinSCP or Windows Explorer running
on a Windows-based machine to transfer files to and from your meter’s internal FTP
server.
1. Start your FTP software.
2. Connect to your meter via FTP by entering your meter’s IP address. Depending on
your FTP software and meter security settings, you may be prompted for login
credentials.
NOTE:
With standard meter security (no user configured), enter login credentials of
9410 and the meter password to connect to the meter. For advanced meter
security, enter a valid user and password.
3. Navigate to the appropriate folder on your meter.
4. Close your FTP software to disconnect from the meter. The FTP connection
automatically disconnects once the FTP timeout period has elapsed.
SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
Your meter supports SNMP once you have enabled SNMP on your meter. You need to
upload the meter’s MIB file (available from www.usa.siemens.com/pds) into the NMS
managing your meter.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is part of the Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol suite. SNMP is an application layer
protocol that enables the exchange of network management information between
devices, allowing you to manage network performance and to identify and solve
problems on networks with devices of various types.
SNMP configuration assumes that you have an advanced understanding of SNMP and
the communications network and power system that your meter is connected to.
