3.3 NL100/105 to Datalogger Connections - CR9000/CR5000
3.3.1 Software Setup
As an alternative to LoggerNet, PC9000 software (version 3.5 or higher) can be
used to communicate with the CR9000 and CR5000 dataloggers via the
NL100/105 and a TCP/IP Network. To configure the software for
communication, choose the Tools | CommLink menu option. From the I/O Port
drop-down list box, select NET. On the bottom left side of the screen, there are
fields in which to type the TCP/IP address and the port number. The setup
should look similar to Figure 7, below.

3.3.2 Hardware Setup for NL105 Communication with the CR9000 via
TLink
A CR9000 can be connected to a TCP/IP network by connecting the TLink port
of the CR9000 9031 CPU module to the TLink port of the NL105 (note that the
NL100 does not have this communication port). A twisted pair cable is used to
make this connection.
