Appendix C. NL240 Settings
All of the NL240 settings available from the Settings Editor in DevConfig are
described below.
C.1 Main Tab
Model (read only)
Model name.
Serial Number (read only)
Specifies the NL240 serial number assigned by the factory.
OS Version (read only)
Operating system version currently in the NL240.
Compile Date (read only)
Operating system compile date.
Bridge Mode
This setting is used to configure the device's mode of operation.
Bridge Mode Disabled
With Bridge Mode disabled, the serial server (RS-232 or CS I/O),
PakBus®, and secure proxy server functionalities are available. Refer to
the respective device settings for the configuration of these functionalities.
Bridge Mode Enabled
With Bridge Mode enabled, the device will act as a bridge from Wi-Fi to
CS I/O. All IP packets that come in to the device via Wi-Fi will be
communicated to a datalogger over the CS I/O port. Some filtering is
done in order to minimize the amount of traffic on the CS I/O port but
every packet that is transmitted to the logger is sent intact as a complete
Ethernet/TCP packet. 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 (i.e., 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.
When the device is configured in bridge mode, it is not possible to
open a telnet session with it.
