o Input the IP Address, Network Mask, and Default Gateway. These
values can be provided by your network administrator.
• On the Network Services tab:
o Make note of the PakBus/TCP Server Port.
9.1.2 Configuring the Datalogger
The datalogger must first be configured for internet
communication (i.e., through an NL115, an NL120, a second
NL240, or a cellular modem).
• 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 Baud
Rate. Press Connect to connect to the datalogger.
• On the Network Services tab:
o Under PakBus TCP Client Connections, input the NL240’s IP
address and PakBus TCP Server Port.
• Press Apply to save the changes and then close DevConfig.
10. Troubleshooting
This section covers some common problems that might be encountered when
using the NL240. This is not comprehensive but should provide some insight
and ability to correct simple errors without a call to Campbell Scientific
technical support.
When your Campbell Scientific software cannot establish a link to a remote
datalogger that is connected to the NL240, do the following:
1. Check all your power connections.
• Your NL240 and any wireless access point (WAP) and/or wireless
router being used must be connected to power. Check power indicator
lights to make sure your devices are powered.
2. Check all your cables and antenna.
• Verify that your antenna is securely attached to the NL240 and
oriented in the same direction as the antenna of your WAP. The green
Link/Act light on the NL240 should start blinking when it is
connected to a WLAN or ad hoc network. Also, the WLAN activity
light on your WAP (if it has one) should be blinking with activity as
well.
