Your meter has an internal FTP server that you can use to load files, such as custom
webpages, and upgrade your meter and meter accessories.
File transfer protocol (FTP) is a standard, client-server network protocol used to
transfer files over TCP (Ethernet) networks.
Your meter's FTP memory usage changes when you copy a file to the meter's internal
FTP site or modify a feature that uses the meter's FTP site.
If you attempt to load a file onto your meter's FTP site that is too large, your FTP
program displays an error, and you must delete files from your meter's internal FTP
site to free up memory before loading the file.
If you modify a meter feature which uses FTP memory, such as increasing the number
of COMTRADE waveform records, the meter checks to confirm sufficient space is
available on its internal FTP site before enabling the modified feature. If there is
insufficient space, the feature is disabled, and you must delete files from your meter's
FTP site to increase the available space before enabling the feature.
Your meter has an FTP folder structure.
• COMTRADE: you can read COMTRADE files from these folders, but you cannot
delete or add files to these folders.
• IEC61850: you can add an IEC 61850 configuration (CID) file to this folder to
activate the IEC 61850 protocol functions of your meter.
