Sending Diagnostic Information

Both the Server and the Client software have a button you can select to send diagnostic information to RBS Tech Support. This information usually includes everything we need to diagnose a problem and help you fix it. The diagnostic packet includes the latest few logs, the registry settings, general program settings, environmental settings, and other information. This is NOT personally identifiable information for the end users.

 

The diagnostic packet is sent as an email through a private SMTP server in RBS' data center on port 9090. If port 9090 is blocked the diagnostic packet will not be sent.

 

ONLY PRESS THE SEND DIAGNOSTICS BUTTON IF INSTRUCTED TO DO SO BY AN RBS TECHNICIAN. DO NOT PRESS THE BUTTON, OR INSTRUCT YOUR CUSTOMERS TO PRESS THE BUTTON, UNLESS YOU HAVE FILED A SUPPORT CASE AND HAVE A SUPPORT TICKET NUMBER.

 

On the RBS Server Manager, the Send Diagnostics button is on the Help / About menu.

 

 

On the RBS Client software (Simple Interface) you will find the Send Diagnostics selection on the Log menu. This is not documented in the Client help files.

 

 

 

On the RBS Client Software Advanced Interface the Send Diagnostics selection is on the Help menu.
