Section 1. Setting Up the Network and
Communicating
1.1 Getting Started
With the software installed, you are probably anxious to start using PondView.
If at all possible, prior to deploying the equipment in the field, make sure you
can establish a telecommunication link with the CR10X-TD—even if you have
to create a temporary setup in your office. Getting familiar with PondView
and your CR10X-TD in the comfort of your office will be a lot less frustrating
than trying to resolve problems in the field. If your CR10X-TD is already
deployed and working, then establishing communications with the CR10X-TD
is the place to start. RF radio telecommunication should not be operated at
close distances. Damage to your radios can occur.
1.2 Setup
The LoggerNet communications server is the application that provides the
software interface between the computer applications and the CR10X-TD
network. The server software must be running on the computer for data
monitoring and control to occur and to allow any of the applications to be
used to access information from the CR10X-TD.
1.2.1 Start the Server
The Server is accessed through the PROGRAMS directory. From the Start
button select PROGRAMS. From the PROGRAMS menu select LoggerNet.
A bar menu will be displayed.
