7.1.4 Connect
You are now ready to connect to your datalogger using the LoggerNet Connect
screen.
7.2 Bridge Mode
With Bridge Mode Enabled, the device will act as a bridge from Ethernet to
CS I/O. All IP packets that come into the device via Ethernet will be
communicated as a complete Ethernet/TCP packet to the datalogger over the
CS I/O port. This enables the datalogger to use its TCP/IP stack to interpret
the packet and, therefore, all of the datalogger’s TCP services are available. In
bridge mode, none of the other device settings are valid and all other
functionality is disabled. All settings (that is, IP, netmask, gateway) are
configured in the datalogger. However, in bridge mode, the device will
intercept any TCP traffic on the “TCP Configuration Port Number.” This
allows the device to still be configured remotely by IP connection using
DevConfig. The “TCP Configuration Port Number” is a user setting with a
default value of 6786.
7.2.1 Physical Setup
Using the supplied serial cable, connect the NL201’s CS I/O port to the
datalogger’s CS I/O port. Alternatively, power the NL200 or NL201 through
