Troubleshooting Tips 

Appendix A.1.

 

Connection to the FieldServer 

 

Confirm that the network cabling is correct. 

 

Confirm that the computer network card is operational and correctly configured. 

 

Confirm that there is an Ethernet adapter installed in the PC’s Device Manager List,, and that it is configured to 
run the TCP/IP protocol. 

 

Check the Ethernet OK LED 

 

Check the “Activity” LED on the Ethernet connection - this should flash at least once every 2 seconds if RUI is 
still running. 

 

Check that the netmask is correct. 

 

Go to Start|Run  

 

Type in “ipconfig” 

 

The account settings should be displayed.    

 

Ensure that the IP address is 192.168.2.xxx and the netmask 255.255.255.0 

 

Ensure that the PC and FieldServer are on the same IP Network, or assign a Static IP Address to the PC on the 
192.168.2.0  network  using  the  Remote  User  Interface  Utility.    Refer  to  the  FieldServer  Utilities  manual  for 
information. 

 

If using Windows XP, ensure that the firewall is disabled. 

 

Ensure that all other Ethernet cards active on the PC, especially wireless adapters are disabled. 

 

Refer to the FieldServer Troubleshooting Guide which can be found in the FieldServer Utilities directory under 
Documentation 

Appendix A.2.

 

Technical support 

Before  contacting  Technical  support  to  report  an  issue,  go  to  Start|Programs|FieldServer  utilities|Tools  and  run 
the FST_Diag program.  Take a log (See ENote0058 in the folder called Library on the USB Flash Drive).  Send this 
log together with the configuration file to [email protected] for evaluation.    

Note  that  while  all  necessary  documentation  is  shipped  with  the  FieldServer  on  the  USB  flash  drive,  these 
documents are constantly being updated.  Newer versions may be available on the web at www.fieldserver.com
