Configuring Using Ftp - Matrix ETERNITY NE System Manual

Configuring using FTP

File Transfer Protocol (FTP), is a standard network protocol, used to exchange and manipulate files over a TCP
computer network such as the Internet.
FTP is the simplest way to exchange files between computers on the Internet. Like the Hypertext Transfer Protocol
(HTTP), which transfers displayable Web pages and related files, and the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP),
which transfers e-mail, FTP uses the Internet's TCP/IP protocols, and is commonly used to transfer Web server for
everyone on the Internet, download program and other files to your computer from other servers.
Using FTP, you can also update (delete, rename, move and copy) files at a server. For this, you need to log on to
an FTP server.
ETERNITY supports an embedded FTP server which can be used for these purposes:
• Upgrading System Software.
• Uploading/Back-up System Configuration files.
• Uploading/Back-up Call Record files (SMDR).
• Uploading/downloading VMS Configuration, voice message audio files.
Configuring ETERNITY using FTP is meant for Installers who want to complete system configuration at their end or
are unable to configure the system on-site at the customer's end.
The advantage of using FTP for configuring the system is that Installers can complete the entire system
configuration as per their customer's requirement at their end, copy these configuration files, and then upload these
configuration files on to the customer's system.
Further, once the configuration file has been created, Installers only need to make the desired changes in the
relevant files and upload the updated files again.
If you are the Installer, before you configure the users' system using the FTP server, make sure you complete the
following tasks at your end:
• Configure the system as per the customer/user requirements, using Jeeves.
• Now, copy the system configuration you just completed for the user's system on a CD or a Pen Drive using
the embedded FTP server. To do this, you may use either Windows FTP or FireFTP. See
Upload" for step-by-step instructions.
If you have multiple customers and you want configure your customers' systems using FTP, you are
recommended to tag the names of the configuration folders you create for your customers with some
identification, like name and date.
At the customer's end,
• Open the web browser on the computer connected to the customer's ETERNITY NE.
