16.5.3. File Names for the FTP Server Function
When your FTP program connects to the VIP unit, it will display a series
of file names. Each file name denotes the type of data stored in the
corresponding file. The file names generated by the FTP server function
are based on the user-selected basic file name, the source port that collected
the data, and the data type. As shown in the example in Figure 16.9, the file
name will consist of the following components.
Note:
This file naming convention applies only to the FTP
Server function. A different convention is used when data is
transferred using FTP Push. For more information, please refer to
Section 16.4.1.

File Name (Up to Four Characters): The base file name that is
defined via item number 3 in the FTP Server Configuration menu. If
the file name is not defined, the VIP will use the first three characters
of the Site ID message. If the Site ID message has not been defined,
the VIP will use the letters "PNL". Note that if the defined file name is
less than four characters long, then the VIP will not use the remaining
characters in this field.

Source Port (One Character): The VIP will enter one character to
indicate the port which originally received this data; the letter "A"
indicates PBX Port A, "B" indicates PBX Port B, "X" indicates the
AUX Port, and "I" indicates the PBX IP Port. Note that files created
by the FTP Server Function will only contain data from one input port.

Data Type (Two Characters): The VIP will list one of three different
data types: ST indicates that the file contains Standard (Non-Alarm)
data, A1 indicates that the file contains records that matched Alarm
Filter 1, and A2 indicates that the file contains records that matched
Alarm Filter 2.
