add any additional security in the Enterprise section of the window.

this, make sure the IP Address is set to
0.0.0.0
. Click Apply to save the
configuration changes. Then reconnect. The IP information obtained through DHCP
is updated and displayed in the Status section of the Wi-Fi subtab. Note, however,
that this address is not static and may change. An IP address here of
169.254.###.### means the data logger was not able to obtain an address from the
DHCP server. Contact your network administrator for help.
8. Apply your changes.
9. For each data logger you want to connect to network, you must follow the instruction in
Setting up Wi-Fi communications between the data logger and the data logger support
software
(p. 26), using the IP address used to configure that data logger (step 7 in this
instruction).
