Get a Copy of Trace Buffer
Using the following procedure, you can save copies of the trace buffers over FTP.
1. Connect the VT5900-SA to the ethernet network used by your computer.
2. Start your FTP program using the VT5900-SA’s IP address:
ftp <IP address>
3. Enter the user name and password. The default values for user name and password are root for
the user name and password for the password.

For the current trace buffer, use get curtrace.txt.
For the previous trace buffer, use get prvtrace.txt.
The file will transfer to the current directory specified on your computer’s FTP utility. If

the lcd command (ex. lcd c:\myCfg).
