This is a sample from a FTP session to transfer the computer file
firmware.bin
to the IES-
1248.
This is a sample from a FTP session to transfer the IES-1248’s current configuration file
(including the configuration files of all the IES-1248) to the computer file
config.txt
.
If your FTP client does not allow you to have a destination filename different than the source,
you will need to rename them as the IES-1248 only recognizes “config-0” and “ras”. Be sure
you keep unaltered copies of the files for later use.
The following table is a summary. Please note that the internal filename refers to the filename
on the IES-1248 and the external filename refers to the filename not on the IES-1248, that is,
on your computer, local network or FTP site and so the name (but not the extension) may vary.
After uploading new firmware, use the sys version command on the IES-1248 to confirm that
you have uploaded the correct firmware version.
53.3 Editable Configuration File
The configuration file can be downloaded as a plain-text (ASCII) file. Edits to the
configuration can be made to this file before it is uploaded again to the IES-1248.
"
You can change the “.dat” file to a “.txt” file and still upload it back to the IES-
1248.
"
Do not upload any invalid files to the IES-1248’s configuration file, as it may
permanently damage your IES-1248.
53.3.1 Editable Configuration File Backup
Configure your system, and then use FTP to backup the plain-text configuration file onto your
computer. Do the following to backup the configuration file:
