The Management Card uses a four-digit year for log entries. You may
need to select a four-digit date format in your spreadsheet application to
display all four digits.
See the Security Handbook, available on the APC Network Management Card
utility CD and on the APC Web site (www.apc.com) for information on
available protocols and methods for setting up the type of security you need.
To set a non-default port value to enhance security for the FTP Server,

any port from 5001 to 32768.
