3. Navigate to the appropriate folder on your meter.
4. Close your FTP software to disconnect from the meter. The FTP connection
automatically disconnects once the FTP timeout period has elapsed.
FTP memory allocation
Your meter’s FTP memory usage changes when you copy a file to the meter’s internal
FTP site or modify a feature that uses the meter’s FTP site.
If you attempt to load a file onto your meter’s FTP site that is too large, your FTP
program displays an error, and you must delete files from your meter’s internal FTP
site to free up memory before loading the file.
If you modify a meter feature which uses FTP memory, such as increasing the number
of COMTRADE waveform records, the meter checks to confirm sufficient space is
available on its internal FTP site before enabling the modified feature. If there is
insufficient space, the feature is disabled, and you must delete files from your meter’s
FTP site to increase the available space before enabling the feature.
FTP file structure and permissions
Your meter has an FTP folder structure.
• COMTRADE: you can read COMTRADE files from these folders, but you cannot
delete or add files to these folders.
• IEC61850: you can add an IEC 61850 configuration (CID) file to this folder to
activate the IEC 61850 protocol functions of your meter.
• optionModuleUpg and rmdUpg: you can load firmware update files for your
meter’s remote display or option modules into these folders.
• documents: this folder is intended for user storage. You can read, write and delete
any type of files in this folder.
• web: this folder is where the meter’s default webpages are stored and where you
can add custom webpages to the meter by copying them into the appropriate
subfolders.
FTP filename requirements
FTP filenames are limited to standard ASCII characters.
This means that they cannot contain a blank space, quotation marks or \, /, *, ?, < or >,
and are limited to 68 characters in length, including the file extension. The “/” character
is only used as part of the FTP file directory information.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
Your meter supports SNMP once you have enabled SNMP on your meter. You need to
upload the meter’s MIB file (available from www.usa.siemens.com/pds) into the NMS
managing your meter.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is part of the Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol suite. SNMP is an application layer
protocol that enables the exchange of network management information between
devices, allowing you to manage network performance and to identify and solve
problems on networks with devices of various types.
SNMP configuration assumes that you have an advanced understanding of SNMP and
the communications network and power system that your meter is connected to.
