[KonaFT](https://knowledgehub.tektelic.com/applications-tools?hsLang=en#konaft) # Kona Field Tool User Guide (KonaFT) The current version of the Kona Field Tool can be found at the following link: [https://knowledgehub.tektelic.com/konaft-application](https://knowledgehub.tektelic.com/konaft-application?hsLang=en) Download and install on a Windows PC running XP, Win7 or Win10.   Once installed, launch the application and connect your Kona gateway. ### General Tab:  **Gateway Info:** - Provides OEM information (product code, serial number, gateway ID, MAC, frequency band, etc) - Provides GPS information (lock status, and position) **Packet Forwarder Statistics** - Describes current packet forwarder installed - Describes transmit/receive statistics **Spectral Scan/Spectrum Analyzer** - Useful tool to check for interference in the receive band and power level histograms for each operating channel ![](https://knowledgehub.tektelic.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/DocsDisplay-Jan-05-2024-08-30-22-2113-PM.png) ### Board Details Tab: **Performance:** Provides Performance Statistics of the Host platform: - CPU usage - Memory usage - Storage usage Useful to debug if there is CPU over-utilization, memory leak, log rotation leak, etc. ![](https://knowledgehub.tektelic.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/DocsDisplay-Jan-05-2024-08-30-24-7859-PM.png) **SW Management:** Read Versions (Short List): - Check BSP version and versions of other Linux packages installed Sets the location of the upgrade server containing the upgrade files.  Can be either external or local on the Gateway Lists available packages for upgrade/installation Will prompt the user if a BSP upgrade is available ![](https://knowledgehub.tektelic.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/DocsDisplay-Jan-05-2024-08-30-17-2903-PM.png) **Backup and Restore:** Displays available backups - A backup is automatically created when a BSP upgrade is initiated Restore an existing backup - Reverts the Gateway back to previous backed up state ![](https://knowledgehub.tektelic.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/DocsDisplay-Jan-05-2024-08-30-16-2934-PM.png) **Log Configuration:** Allows the rate of logging to be changed on the Gateway and the frequency of rotation ![](https://knowledgehub.tektelic.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/DocsDisplay-Jan-05-2024-08-30-18-9744-PM.png) ### Firewall Tab: **Enabling/Disabling Firewall** - Checks the status of the firewall **Enabling/Disabling ICMP** - Allows the Gateway to be pinged **Enabling/Disabling SSH** - Recommended that this is disabled and firewall rules added for trusted connections **Editing of firewall rules** - Adding/deleting and modifying of firewall rules on the Gateway ![](https://knowledgehub.tektelic.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/DocsDisplay-Jan-05-2024-08-30-24-0568-PM.png) ### HW Alarm: Displays current alarm and fault status An alarm will be raised if a specific fault is triggered on the Gateway List of alarms and faults are available on the next two slides Allows for fault simulation (only locally on the gateway) ![](https://knowledgehub.tektelic.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/DocsDisplay-Jan-05-2024-08-30-18-1951-PM.png) **Hardware Faults** ![](https://knowledgehub.tektelic.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/DocsDisplay-Jan-05-2024-08-30-20-1619-PM.png) **Alarm List** ![](https://knowledgehub.tektelic.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/DocsDisplay-Jan-05-2024-08-30-21-2025-PM.png) **LED Strategy** ![](https://knowledgehub.tektelic.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/DocsDisplay-Jan-05-2024-08-30-23-2592-PM.png)   -
