FTP
Your meter has an internal FTP server that you can use to load files, such as custom
webpages, and upgrade your meter and meter accessories.
File transfer protocol (FTP) is a standard, client-server network protocol used to
transfer files over TCP (Ethernet) networks.
Accessing your meter’s FTP server
You must have FTP software such as Filezilla, WinSCP or Windows Explorer running
on a Windows-based machine to transfer files to and from your meter’s internal FTP
server.
1. Start your FTP software.
2. Connect to your meter via FTP by entering your meter’s IP address. Depending
on your FTP software and meter security settings, you may be prompted for login
credentials.
NOTE: With standard meter security (no user configured), enter login
credentials of 9410 and the meter password to connect to the meter. For
advanced meter security, enter a valid user and password.
