3.3.2 File Transfer
Assuming the ANT-5 is connected to
a network, users are able to transfer
files between the PC and an ANT-5
using either a command line FTP
client or via a graphical FTP with
programs such as Internet Explorer.
Refer to section 2.8.1 for information
on communications configuration.
In this example two sessions of
Internet Explorer have been opened
to transfer files between two ANT-5’s,
by typing in the command ftp://
followed by the relevant IP addresses
of the ANT-5.
Tip: Master configuration files for an ANT-5 can be simply copied to other units by
transferring the .A5C files.
