I have just upgraded all our 408A/508A today with new firmware V3 which supports CLI, found a few issues with NCM, but can now download configs from the integrated web interface. Would upgrading to V3 be an option in your case as I see it is listed as available for your hardware on the Moxa site?
Yes, we have a couple here in the office we could upgrade and test. Thanks for the tip.
Also, you are downloading configs on these via NCM now? I wasn't sure from your post if that is what you are doing.
Thanks.
Yes we can download in NCM, but we did have a few issues!! When I try to download the configs manually via NCM, I get a message “cannot log into device bad password” however if you try executing the command “show running-config” it will display the config, also when hitting the download config from the web integration it will successfully download the config.
Also, when I try to validate login credentials against the device, also get the bad password message.
Moxa tech support suspect the issue is with NCM(we are running 6.1), however he is yet to confirm.
You may also need to reboot the device after the firmware upgrade as some of our Moxa’s would not allow an SNMP connection straight after firmware upgrade.
Here is the template.

Ian, thank you! We just upgraded a device here, going to bring it in to NCM (we are also 6.1) and see how that template works. I'll keep you posted.
So we are up and running in CLI mode on our test switch. Imported into NCM, the login credentials work, but downloading fails through the console app and the web app.
Thank you for the help, looks like we'll have to move into support from here as well to get this final piece working.
In NCM device settings, we have the following so try setting the enable level to "enable 0", Execute scrips using "Telnet", request configs using "Telnet" and transfer configs using "TFTP"
I changed the settings to match, and also upgraded to NCM 7.0 running config downloaded perfectly through the client.
I will try with SSH/SCP when Moxa can tell me where they have "hidden" this feature which they currently advertise on their web site, there is not a mention of these in their CLI manual from earlier this year.
May have to wait until firmware 3.1?????
Also add these custom macro's
${StorageAddress} [IP of your NCM server]
${StorageFileName} config.ini
Ok, well if this works in NCM7, can anybody confirm if there are any known issues/bugs with 6.1 downloading device configs with the current device template?
