Using FTP
Having assigned an IP address to your AXIS 5400+, as described in
Assigning an IP address on page 22, you can change the AXIS 5400+
parameter settings using the File Transport Protocol (FTP).
Editing the config file Follow the instructions below to edit the config file using FTP:
1. Log in to the AXIS 5400+ by typing:
ftp <host name> or ftp <IP address> in a DOS window
(Windows and OS/2) or in a UNIX shell window.
2. Enter the user id and the password. (The default entries are
root
and
pass.)
3. Download the config file to your host by typing:
get config
4. Edit the file using your preferred text editor.
5. Save the config file to the AXIS 5400+ by typing:
put config CONFIG
Note:
The example on the next page shows how to edit the config file using
FTP from a DOS window.
It is important that the destination file is specified in capital letters. Otherwise the
edits are temporary and will be lost once the AXIS 5400+ has been powered
down.
To edit the config file from a Macintosh you will need FTP support such as
MacTCP, Fetch or Anarchie. The procedure for editing the file is the same as
described above.
