NL120 Ethernet Module

4. Quickstart

This section describes the basics of communicating via Ethernet with the

NL120

.

4.1 Physical Setup

Always power down the datalogger before installing or

removing the NL120 to or from the datalogger.

After powering down the datalogger, plug the NL120 into the datalogger

peripheral port (see FIGURE 4-1). Attach Ethernet cable to the 10Base-T port.

If using the 28033 Surge Protector, connect the other end of the Ethernet cable

to the 28033 and connect another Ethernet cable to the other end of the 28033.

Restore power to the datalogger.

b. Open Campbell Scientific’s Device Configuration Utility. Select the

device type of the datalogger (CR1000 or CR3000), the appropriate Serial

Port, and baud rate. Connect to the datalogger.
