10.5.1 Taking a Capture with Older Firmware
If the FieldServer firmware is from before November 2017, the Diagnostic Capture can be done by
downloading the FieldServer Toolbox software but network connections (such as Ethernet and Wi-Fi)
cannot be captured (if a network diagnostic is needed take a Wire Shark capture).
Once the Diagnostic Capture is complete, email it to technical support. The Diagnostic Capture will
accelerate diagnosis of the problem.
