5.7. Reading Diagnostics in Tool Suite
The Network Diagnostics application provides a place to view diagnostic data for all the devices
connected to the Master in the network in real time.
Important!: The Network Diagnostics application is NOT meant to replicate the functionality of a
Network Management System.
It is a tool intended for occasional network monitoring or troubleshooting in the field, not for
continuous, long-term collection of diagnostic data.
This topic provides basic steps for reading diagnostics using Tool Suite. Tool Suite stores the
diagnostic data in the database for import from or export to a diagnostic file.
Note: For information about the available data, recommended best practices, and importing and
exporting files using the Network Diagnostics application, see the Tool Suite User Manual.
To help identify the radios in the network when running Network Diagnostics, set the Radio
Name and Radio ID settings on the MultiPoint Parameters tab.
Important!: Network Diagnostics must be run from the Master radio.
Diagnostics require:
l A setting between 1 and 128 in the Diagnostics parameter available in the MultiPoint
Parameters menu on the Master.
l A second computer or serial connection to run the diagnostics software.
l A user-supplied diagnostics cable (available from FreeWave).
l Tool Suite - Available from support.freewave.com.
l Registration is required to use this website.
Note: For more diagnostics information, Contact FreeWave Technical Support (on page 7).
