Files
File Media The File Media parameter is present on
several pages in which files are
transferred to and/or from the Mercury
transceiver. The File Media indicates
the source or the destination of the file
to be transferred. The media can be
FTP, SFTP, TFTP, or USB Flash Drive.
If using a USB Flash Drive, the drive
should be formatted to standard FAT32
format (typical for Microsoft Windows).
TFTP
Host Address The Host Address parameter is
present on several pages in which files
are transferred to and/or from the
Mercury transceiver. The Host Address
is the IP address of the FTP, SFTP, or
TFTP server to be used for the file
transfer.

TFTP Timeout If TFTP is used for file transfers, the
TFTP Timeout is used to control the

TFTP Block Size If TFTP is used for file transfers, the
TFTP Block Size is used to control the
protocol transfer size. When
transferring file over wired LAN
interfaces, a block size of 4096 or 8192
will make the transfer go faster. When
transferring over a lossy wireless link,
the block size should be kept to 512 or
1024 to minimize packet retries.
