IES-1248-51/51A/53 User's Guide
This is a sample from a FTP session to transfer the IES-1248's current configuration file
(including the configuration files of all the IES-1248) to the computer file
If your FTP client does not allow you to have a destination filename different than the source,
you will need to rename them as the IES-1248 only recognizes "config-0" and "ras". Be sure
you keep unaltered copies of the files for later use.
The following table is a summary. Please note that the internal filename refers to the filename
on the IES-1248 and the external filename refers to the filename not on the IES-1248, that is,
on your computer, local network or FTP site and so the name (but not the extension) may vary.
After uploading new firmware, use the sys version command on the IES-1248 to confirm that
you have uploaded the correct firmware version.
