USER’S GUIDE

network management card

Ping utility (control console)

Select this option, available only in the control console, to check the

Management Card’s network connection by testing whether a defined IP

address responds to the Ping network utility.

By default, the default gateway IP address (see TCP/IP) is used. However,

you can use the IP address of any device known to be running on the

network.

FTP Server

Use the Access setting to enable or disable the FTP server. The server is

enabled by default.

Use the Port setting to identify the TCP/IP port that the FTP server uses for

communications with the Management Card. The default Port setting is 21.

You can change the Port setting to any unused port from 5000 to 32768 to

enhance the protection provided by User Name and Password settings.

You must then use a colon (:) in the command line to specify the non-default

port. For example, for a port number of 5000 and a Management Card IP

address of 159.215.12.114, you would use this command:

ftp 159.215.12.114:5000

FTP transfers files without using encryption. For higher security,

use Secure CoPy (SCP) for file transfers. When you select and

configure Secure SHell (SSH), SCP is enabled automatically. To

configure SSH, see Telnet/SSH. If you decide to use SCP for file

transfer, be sure to disable the FTP server.

To access a text version of the Management Card’s event or data

Log, see How to use FTP or SCP to retrieve log files.
