When filling in that setup screen, the settings for the Internet address and the
IPPort on the IPPort hardware screen are largely irrelevant in this case as
Loggernet cannot make new outgoing calls as most loggers with dynamic
IPs (assigned to the data logger) do not allow incoming connections. You
should still add a valid IP address and match the port number to the Pakbus
port number in the data logger to prevent Loggernet flagging errors. When a
successful connection is made from a remote logger you will see that
Loggernet updates the IP address of the remote logger, as viewed in the
Setup screen. Unless your provider allows this, do not expect to be able to
make connections out to this address though as it is normally the address of
an intermediate router that is the barrier between the private and public
networks. If you have several systems with service from the same airtime
provider you will often find the same IP address shown for several of
different loggers
8.2.2 Setting up call-back in Loggernet Version 4
In Loggernet 4 there is a new root device called a PakbusTCPServer that has
a single call-back port. Multiple dataloggers are attached to this port and are
identified, when they call-back, by their Pakbus address rather than the port
they call-back on. This simplifies the configuration of the dataloggers and
only requires one port to be configured in firewalls/routers.
The call-back port is entered in the hardware tab as shown below.
