Installing Field Tools Configuration Software
You install Field Tools software (which includes FBxConnect) on your PC to configure the device.
Important
▪ Field Tools (including FBxConnect) is available as a free software download to registered
SupportNet users. If you are not a registered SupportNet user, new accounts take up to
24 hours to process so plan accordingly.
▪ AMS Device Configurator (which is part of Field Tools) is incompatible with AMS Device
Manager: they cannot reside on the same machine.
▪ If you have a previous version of Field Tools already installed on your PC, uninstall it and
reboot your PC before you install this new version.
▪ Before beginning the installation, close all other applications.
▪ Field Tools cannot reside on a computer running any component of OpenEnterprise 2.x,
OpenEnterprise 3.x, OpenEnterprise Client/Server, or ObjectServer software.
▪ TechView and other components of BSI_Config software cannot be installed on a
computer running OpenBSI Network Edition versions older than 5.9 Service Pack 2.
▪ You must have administrative privileges to install Field Tools.
▪ You must disable User Account Control (UAC) prior to installing Field Tools (you can re-
enable it after a successful installation).
▪ As part of the installation, software from both Eltima and MACTek
®
is automatically installed.
Depending upon your permissions, Windows may require you to confirm these installations
before the installation can proceed.
1. Right-click on the installer file and choose Run as administrator from the pop-up menu. For
details on minimum hardware/software requirements as well as more details on the
installation steps see the Field Tools Quick Start Guide (D301703X412).
