Rack ATS AP44xx User Manual104
NMS IP/Host Name: The IP address, IP address mask, or host name that controls access by the NMS.
A host name or a specific IP address (such as 149.225.12.1) allows access only by the NMS at that
location. An IP address mask that contains 255 restricts access as follows:
149.225.12.255: Access only by an NMS on the 149.225.12 segment.
149.225.255.255: Access only by an NMS on the 149.225 segment.
149.255.255.255: Access only by an NMS on the 149 segment.
0.0.0.0 (the default) or 255.255.255.255: Access by any NMS on any segment.
Configure FTP server
Path: Configuration > Network > FTP Server
The FTP Server settings enable or disable access to the FTP server. FTP is disabled by default.
By default, the FTP server communicates with the ATS through TCP/IP port 21. The FTP server uses
both the specified port and the port one number lower than the specified port.
You can change the Port setting to the number of any unused port from 5001 to 32768 for added
security. Users must then use a colon (:) to specify the non-default port number.
For example, for port 5001 and IP address 152.214.12.114, the command would be
ftp 152.214.12.114:5001.
NOTE: FTP transfers files without encryption. For higher security, transfer files with Secure CoPy (SCP).
Secure SHell (SSH) is enabled by default, and enables SCP automatically. However, SCP will not allow
a file transfer until the Super User default password (apc) is changed. At any time that you want an ATS
to be accessible for management by StruxureWare Data Center Expert, FTP server access must be
enabled in the ATS interface.
NOTE: You can use FTP or SCP to configure and update the ATS with StruxureWare Data Center Expert
or EcoStruxure IT as long as the same protocol is enabled on both the ATS and StruxureWare or
EcoStruxure. See your StruxureWare Data Center Expert or EcoStruxure IT documentation for details.

Handbook, available at www.apc.com.
