Retrieving the

Event Log using

the FTP interface

To retrieve the Event Log, type get event.txt. The MasterSwitch

plus

unit will transmit the Event Log to your specified drive. The unit

ensures that up to the last

300

events will be transmitted; however, it

could be more. You will see a list similar to the following:

ftp>get event.txt

200 Command okay.

150 Opening data connection for event.txt

226 Closing data connection.

Viewing the Event

Log

After getting the event.txt file you can easily view it using your favorite

spreadsheet. The file is

TAB

delimited so it will format nicely into

columns.

Note: The MasterSwitch

plus

unit always uses four-digit year

representation when logging and displaying event data.

However, sometimes when importing the event.txt file into a

spreadsheet, the spreadsheet will display the date fields as only

two-digit years. This can be fixed by selecting a different date

format in the spreadsheet.

The event.txt file includes some additional information not directly

shown or necessary in the Web and Control Console Event Log

screens. These include the following:

• The version of the event.txt file format (first field).

• The Date and Time the event.txt file was retrieved.

• The Name, Contact, Location, and

address of the unit’s

management card.

• An unique Event Code for every type of event.

Deleting an Event

LogintheFTP

interface

To delete the Event Log, type del event.txt. No confirmation is

required. A new event.txt file is immediately created since a Deleted Log

event occurs. You will see a list similar to the following:

ftp>del event.txt

250 Requested file action okay, completed.
