3.8 FTP Interface
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is an Internet standard protocol that allows the transfer of files between
two systems connected to a TCP/IP network (such as the Internet). The MR4800E acts as an FTP
server so that FTP clients can send/receive files from it.
FTP is necessary so that you can transfer configuration files (*.cfg) to/from your system. If you plan
to use MultiModemManager security you will need to transfer security files (*.db) to/from your
system. If you wish to analyze event information, you will need to transfer event files (*.hr) from the
MR4800E to your system where you can run the Statistical Analyzer on them.
Note: When logging in, you must use the Supervisor user name and password.
3.9 PPP Interface
PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) is an Internet standard protocol that allows TCP/IP connections over a
serial data link. The 9-pin serial connector on the front of the MR4800E is for a PPP connection to
the MR4800E.
