3 Specify where the uploaded information should be stored:
a Select Archive to create files for each upload under the ExtremeWare EPICenter
Configs directory, in a subdirectory hierarchy organized by year, month, and day.
The form of the fully-qualified file names for these files is:
<tftp_root>\configs\<year>\<month>\<day>\<device_address>_<time>.txt
where <tftp_root> is the location of your TFTPserver. By default, <tftp_root> is
<EPICenter_install_dir>\user\tftp.
<EPICenter_install_dir> is the EPICenter installation directory, by default by
default
epc3_1.
For example, a file uploaded from device Summit24 (10.205.0.25) on September 1,
2000 at 8:06 am, would be saved as follows:
EPC3_1\user\tftp\configs\2000\Sept\01\10.205.0.25_0806.txt
If you have reconfigured your TFTP root directory (see “Configuring the TFTP
Server” on page 6-16), the configs subdirectory will be found directly below (as
a child of) your TFTP root directory.
b Select Specify to specify your own directory structure and filenaming convention
relative to the TFTP root’s
configs subdirectory. The structure will be of the form:
<tftp_root>\configs\<file_location>\<device_address>_<filename_trailer>.txt
In theFile Location field, specifythe <file_location> path wherethe files should
be stored, starting from the
configs subdirectory. DO NOT include
<tftp_root>\configs as part of the path; just include the remaining path.
In the FileName Trailer field, you can specify a string to be appended to the device
address to create a file name. For example, if you specify a file name trailer of
“week_8_backup” then the filename for the device Summit24 would be
10.205.0.25_week_8_backup.txt.
4 Click Upload to start the upload process.
The Reset button restores all the fields to their initial state.
