NL200/201 Network Link Interface
the barrel-connector jack located on the edge of the device. (Note that an
NL200 cannot be powered over CS I/O. An external power adaptor or power
cable is required.) Connect the NL200/201 to your network using an Ethernet
cable, attaching one end of the cable to the NL200/201’s Ethernet port and the
other end to your network. Ensure that the device is powered up by inspecting
the Power LED.
7.2.2 Configuring the NL200/201
Connect to the NL200/201 in DevConfig (see Section 6, Configuring the
NL200/201). In the NL200/201 tab, set Bridge Mode to enable.
7.2.3 Configuring the Datalogger
• Connect a serial cable from the PC COM port to the datalogger’s RS-232
port.
• Open DevConfig. Select the device type of the datalogger (CR800,
CR1000, or CR3000), the appropriate Communication Port, and the
Baud Rate. Press Connect to connect to the datalogger.
• If using a static IP address, select the CS I/O IP tab and input the IP
address, subnet mask, and IP gateway for the correct CS I/O Interface.
The default for the NL200/201 is CS I/O IP Interface #1 (SDC3). DNS
server settings are shared by all active IP interfaces and can be entered on
the TCP/IP tab. These values can be provided by your network
administrator. If using DHCP, leave the CS I/O IP address settings as
0.0.0.0. You will find the information acquired by DHCP in the TCP/IP
info box on the TCP/IP tab.
• Press Apply to save the changes and then close DevConfig.
The NL200/201 must be connected to the datalogger before
configuring the datalogger with DevConfig. If it is not connected,
the TCP/IP settings will not be displayed.
7.2.4 LoggerNet Setup
The next step is to run LoggerNet and configure it to connect to the datalogger
via the Ethernet port. (See example in FIGURE 7-2 below.)
• In the LoggerNet Setup screen, press Add Root and choose IPPort. Input
the datalogger’s IP address and port number. The IP address and port
number are input on the same line separated by a colon. (The datalogger’s
default port number is 6785. It can be changed using DevConfig. Unless
firewall issues exist, the port number does not need to be changed from its
default value.)
• Add a PakBus® Port.
• Add the datalogger (CR800, CR1000, or CR3000) and input the PakBus®
address of the datalogger.
• You can verify that your settings are correct by selecting the datalogger in
the Network Map, selecting the Clock tab, and pressing Check Clocks. If
