4.2.7. Capture Interface Firmware
The Capture > Interface Configuration > Firmware page contains information about the capture
interface's firmware, and provides the ability to update it. The latest capture interface firmware version is
always included when updating the IOTA firmware. The update is not performed automatically.
On the Interface Configuration dashboard, compare the HW Firmware Version with the Available Firmware
Version. If they are the same, you have the latest firmware version. If the Available Firmware Version is
higher, you can click Flash Firmware to update your unit to the latest capture interface firmware. A progress
bar shows the progress of the installation. After a firmware version is successfully updated, a power cycle is
recommended. After the power cycle, go back to the Interface Configuration Dashboard and verify that you
are now on the latest version.
Note: It is not recommended to update the capture interface firmware while your unit is in a production
environment, as it may temporarily disconnect the A and B ports during the update.
4.3. Autonomous Capture
To be able to capture traffic in networks where remote access over the network is not allowed or not
possible, you can start IOTA's autonomous capture feature by pressing the START/STOP button located at
the front of the device.
START: Press the START/STOP button while no capture is in progress (CAPTURE LED not blinking) to
start the capture. IOTA will use the settings configured in Capture > Interface Configuration.
STOP: Press the START/STOP button while a capture is in progress (CAPTURE LED blinking) to stop the
capture.
SHUTDOWN: Press and hold the START/STOP button for 10 seconds for safe device shutdown (note that
holding the button for 20 seconds will initiate a
Soft
Reset). This will stop the capture and unmount the
internal storage in order to end the capture session.
