NL240 Wireless Network Link Interface

FIGURE 8-2. Bridge mode LoggerNet setup

8.2.2.5 Connect

You are now ready to connect to your datalogger using the LoggerNet Connect

screen.

8.2.3 TCP Serial Server

The NL240 can tunnel RS-232 and CS I/O serial communications over Wi-Fi.

Any packet sent to the configured IP port will have the IP layer removed, and

the data is then directed to the serial connection.

8.2.3.1 Physical Setup

Using the supplied serial cable, connect the NL240 CS I/O port or RS-232 port

to the datalogger CS I/O or RS-232 port, respectively. The NL240 will be

powered if connected via CS I/O. Alternatively, power the NL240 through the

barrel-connector jack located on the edge of the device. Connect the NL240 to

your local wireless network by attaching an antenna to the NL240 WLAN

connector. Ensure that the device is powered up by inspecting the Power LED.

8.2.3.2 Configuring the NL240

RS-232 Serial Server

Connect to the NL240 in DevConfig (see Section 7, Configuring the

NL240).
