3.  Connect a standard Cat-5 Ethernet cable between the user’s PC 

and Gateway. 

4.  Double click on the FS Toolbox Utility and click Discover Now 

on the splash page.

5.  Check for the IP Address of the desired gateway.

6.  If correcting the IP Address of the gateway: click the settings 

icon 

 on the same row as the gateway, then click Network

Settings, change the IP Address and click Update IP Settings to 

save.

Appendix A.2    Viewing Diagnostic 

Information

1.  Type the IP Address of the gateway into the web browser or 

use the FieldServer Toolbox to connect to the gateway.

2.  Click on Diagnostics Button, then click on view, and then on 

connections.

3.  If there are any errors showing on the Connections page, refer 

to 

Appendix A.3

 to check the wiring and settings.

Appendix A.3    Checking Wiring and 

Settings

 

No COMS on Modbus RTU side. If the Tx/Rx LEDs are not flashing 

rapidly then there is a COM issue. To fix this, check the following:

 

-

Visual observations of LEDs on gateway (

Appendix A.4

)

 

-

Check baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits

 

-

Check Detector ID matches the correct device

 

-

Verify wiring

 

-

Verify the device was listed under the Web Configurator 

Active Profiles (

Section 6

)

 

Field COM problems:

 

-

Visual observations of LEDs on the gateway (

Appendix A.4

)

 

-

Verify IP Address setting

 

-

Verify wiring

Note

If the problem still exists, a Diagnostic Capture needs to 

be taken and sent to technical support. (
