3. Quickstart
Out of the box, the NL200/201 is configured for operation as a PakBus®
Router. In this mode, the NL200/201 can be used to communicate with
Campbell Scientific PakBus devices over an Ethernet / Internet network
connection.
3.1 Physical Setup
Using the supplied serial cable, connect the NL201’s CS I/O port to the
datalogger’s CS I/O port. Alternatively, power the NL200 or NL201 through
the barrel-connector jack located on the edge of the device. Connect the
NL200/201 to your network using an Ethernet cable, attaching one end of the
cable to the NL200/201’s Ethernet port and the other end to your network.
Ensure that the device is powered up by inspecting the Power LED.
