Optigo Networks Software Traffic Capture Tool (BACnet/IP) - Windows

The Optigo BACnet Capture Tool is an application that captures BACnet traffic (IP, Ethernet) into a file and then automatically uploads it to Optigo Visual Networks (OptigoVN) for analysis.

Important! When installing the Optigo BACnet Capture tool, please ensure to use a "controlled" device that is protected by a minimum of it's own authorization/security. As well, we highly recommend any remote access to your OT network should always be configured through a firewall.

Please refer to the Optigo BACnet Capture Tool: Quick Start Guide for details on how to use it.
