Note
• An FTP server software must be running on the PC or workstation to which the DL7400 is to
be connected. In addition, the following points need attention regarding the server program
settings.
• Set the list output (string returned by the dir command) to UNIX format.
• Set the home directory and its subdirectories to allow writing.
• The client cannot move above the home directory.
• The newest file is not necessarily displayed at the top of the file list.
• The length of file names and directory names that can be accessed varies depending on
the server software.
• Depending on the server, the symbol “<..>” that indicates a higher directory may not be displayed.
• The time information in the file list will not be displayed correctly for the following cases.
• On Windows NT when the time stamp is displayed using am and pm.
• Servers that return characters other than ASCII characters in the list.
• The following operations are not possible.
• Turning file protect ON and OFF on saved files.
• Formatting a network drive.
• Copying between network drives.
• Renaming a file on the network.
• This function cannot be used when using the FTP server function or the Web server function.
• To use this function, you must configure TCP/IP according to the procedure given in section 13.2.
• To apply new settings that are made while connected to a network drive, drop the connection
using Disconnect and reconnect.
• If you are disconnected by the server when using the FTP client, you will be automatically
reconnected if you perform a file operation. This also holds true if the network drive is
selected for Save to File when using an action trigger or GO/NO-GO.
• When loading waveform data from a network drive, the loading may take time depending on
the network conditions. If there is enough free space on the storage medium, you can reduce
the time by copying the waveform data from the network drive to the storage medium and
loading the data from the storage medium.
Explanation
As with the floppy disk drive and Zip disk drive, you can save or load waveform data or
setup data or save screen image data to a network drive via the Ethernet network.
Network Drive
FTP Server
You can enter the IP address of the FTP server (the PC or workstation running the FTP
server) on the network to which waveform and setup data will be saved. On networks
supporting DNS, you can specify the host and domain by name instead of the IP address.
Login Name
You can enter the login name using up to 15 characters. The default setting is
“anonymous.” The characters that can be used are all the ASCII characters on the
keyboard.
Password
You can enter the password corresponding to the login name using up to 15 characters.
The characters that can be used are all the ASCII characters on the keyboard.
Time Out
When an FTP server is accessed from the DL7400 and data is not transmitted for a
certain period of time (timeout time), the DL7400 decides that the transmission to the
FTP server is not possible and closes the connection. You can set the timeout value in
the range of 1 to 3600 s. The default setting is 15 s.
