      1. Open Command Prompt.

      2. Insert “telnet “controller IP-address”, eg. “telnet 10.100.1.198” NOTE! Telnet is optional feature on Windows, install it if it doesn’t exist.

      2. Write ftp://”controller IP-address”. e.g. “ftp://10.100.1.198”

      2. Download DATA and WWW folers from controller.

Now you have working WWW and DATA Files that can be uploaded to FX-2025-FX2030A and FX-3000-C. The WWW and DATA can’t be uploaded to FX-3000-X as such. It needs to go through FX-3000-C first.
