FS-8704-07_AB-CSP Manual Page 13 of 15 Appendix A. Troubleshooting Appendix A.1. Continuous Map Descriptors RS View has been known to crash if it tries to read a server mapping that is discontinuous. e.g. Server map 1: N21: 0-31 Server map 2: N21: 32-100 This will crash RS view as the AB_CSP will attempt to map N21: 0-100 If set up as Server Map 1: N21: 0-100, no problems are experienced FieldServer Technologies 1991 Tarob Court Milpitas, California 95035 USA Web:www.fieldserver.
