4 Relative Concepts of Data File

What
is the data file?
The data files of the NodeB contain its basic data information. They are
independent of the NodeB software:
Data configuration file : it records NodeB configuration information
Operation log file :
it records NodeB maintenance information.
Equipment archives :
it records manufacturing information of all

boards in the NodeB
What
is the upload and download?
Upload: You can upload data files from the NodeB to the FTP Server for
viewing, modifying and saving. Upload has no impact on the NodeB
Download: You can download updated data files

from the FTP Server to the NodeB
